Cov Tsev Kawm Ntawv Tsis Pub tshaib plab

Hauv 2021, peb koom tes nrog Portland Community College, thiab Oregon Student Association kom dhau HB 2835, Daim nqi Nyiaj Pab Navigator. HB 2835 tau tso ib tug Benefits Navigator rau txhua lub tsev kawm ntawv qib siab pej xeem thiab tsev kawm qib siab hauv xeev Oregon los txhawb cov tub ntxhais kawm hauv kev nkag mus tau cov txiaj ntsig, xws li zaub mov thiab kev pab vaj tse, kom tau raws li lawv cov kev xav tau tseem ceeb.

Since the implementation of HB2835, Benefits Navigators across the state have helped support thousands of students. However, resources are limited and Benefits Navigators are unable to provide the levels of support needed across the state. Things like housing and meal vouchers, upgrades to food pantries, access to emergency funds, etc are in high demand. We are currently working with the Oregon Student Association and Swipe Out Hunger to create a new piece of legislation that will further support the work of the Benefits Navigators by providing additional funding and allowing each institution to pinpoint the programs and solutions that work best for their student body or to grow the impact of those targeted programs.
