Freeze victims to receive 9.1 million in USDA aid
California Governor Gray Davis unveiled a $9.1 million USDA grant to aid Central Valley farm workers affected by the 1998 freeze. The funds, administered by the EDD, will provide direct assistance, temporary jobs, food bank support, and reimburse disaster costs across Kern and other disaster-designated counties. La Cooperativa Campesina de California will receive over $7.5 million for Disaster Service Centers and related services. The aim is to help workers and families until the next harvest season.
