SUMMARY

 

The City of Hayward signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) with the East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) in April 2020 to launch the Hayward Community Relief Fund to sustain and protect residents and businesses during the COVID-19 health emergency. There is $135,795 remaining in the Hayward Relief Fund. Staff is recommending that Council advise EBCF to direct this money to South Hayward Parish to spend on food access, COVID-19 testing, and other basic needs for residents who have been adversely impacted over the past two years. Staff then recommends closing this fund at EBCF.
