Keeping You Informed

As the City of Baltimore continues to respond to COVID-19, the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MIMA) is working to ensure that critical information is available in multiple languages. For multilingual up-to-date information regarding the city’s response, follow us on Facebook. 

Below you will find the English version of MIMA's multilingual biweekly update with information regarding services impacted by COVID-19 and resources available to community members. 

Happy Latinx Hispanic Heritage Month! Don't forget to nominate individuals whose work has made a positive impact in the Hispanic/Latinx community in response to COVID-19. This year, we have a new award honoring the legacy of the late Delfina Haydee Pereda Echeverria. Nominations must be submitted by the end of the day TODAY, Monday, September 28 - nominate someone you know here:  mima.baltimorecity.gov/HispanicHeritage

What's New This Week?

Time is running out to complete your 2020 census!

Visit my2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020 to complete the questionnaire for your household. If you want funding for schools, free school meals, parks, health centers and more, make sure you and everyone who lives in your home get counted! While a federal judge ruled that the Census Bureau has to continue counting until October 31st, the Trump Administration is planning to appeal the decision so it’s important to fill out the census as soon as possible!

People who usually do not file taxes may be eligible for the federal stimulus payment

Complete this online form with the IRS by October 15th. The form has to be completed online – there is no paper form – and people without bank accounts will receive a debit card or check in the mail. Read more information about the CARES Act relief payments in English and Spanish.
