PILSEN — Starting Monday, local Chicagoans excluded from the federal government’s stimulus program can apply for $1,000 cash grants through 20 organizations across the city.
The Chicago Resiliency Fund, created by Pilsen-based nonprofit The Resurrection Project in partnership with the city, is providing cash assistance to people who are undocumented, mixed-status families, people experiencing homelessness, and more.
The program has been funded with a $4 million donation from an anonymous donor and $1 million from the Open Society Foundations.
Many people, including undocumented immigrants and mixed-status families, were left out of that federal stimulus packaged issued earlier this year.

Chicago residents with an income less than 300 percent of the poverty level, who did not receive a federal stimulus check, are eligible for the $1,000 grants.
More information about the fund will be available online.
