Reporter Roundup: Helping Undocumented Immigrants

On the May 19 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss help for the undocumented, mental health of frontline workers and LA’s budget process.

California set up a fund to offer financial help to undocumented immigrants during the pandemic. KPCC’s Josie Huang reports demand is so high the fund’s website has crashed.

KPCC’s Robert Garrova looks at concerns surrounding mental health funding in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s revised budget and what is being done to secure help for frontline workers.

Reporter Libby Denkmann has details on the City of Los Angeles’ very unusual budgeting process.
