HR 8765 United States House · 118th Congress

Disaster Relief for Farm Workers Act

This bill creates a new program to provide emergency grants to farm worker organizations during covered disasters. It directly affects migrant and seasonal farm workers who lose income or cannot work due to events like hurricanes, wildfires, pandemics, or extreme weather. The grants fund immediate relief (including direct cash or aid), building community resilience, infrastructure support, and emergency services. Funds remain available until spent, and the program requires consultation with eligible organizations, defined as farm worker groups or qualified nonprofits with relevant experience.
