Bay Area elected leaders tout new fund to help immigrants impacted by Trump administration crackdown

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee and other Bay Area elected officials unveiled a new fund administered by the nonprofit San Francisco Foundation, to help immigrants experiencing financial hardship due to the Trump administration’s federal immigration crackdown.

More than a third of San Francisco’s population is foreign-born, and 31% of the nine-county Bay Area’s residents were immigrants in 2020.
