S 1661 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Disaster Relief for Farmworkers Act of 2025

This bill creates a program to provide emergency financial assistance to farmworkers affected by disasters. It directs the Secretary of Agriculture to fund eligible farmworker organizations (like community groups or nonprofits with farmworker experience) to deliver immediate relief - such as food, shelter, or cash assistance - during covered disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, pandemics, or extreme weather. Funds can also support building long-term community resilience against future disasters. The program applies to migrant or seasonal farmworkers who earned half their income from farm work in the past two years, with grants available until fully spent.
