The City of Monterey is offering emergency rental assistance to renters who LIVE or WORK in Monterey and qualify due to their situation during the pandemic. You do NOT need to live in the City of Monterey to qualify. If you don't live in Monterey, you do need to work in Monterey to qualify.

This is a great opportunity to have up to six months of rent paid, based on qualifications.

It's worth checking out. Contact the Housing Programs Office at 831-646-3995, or call the United Way 2-1-1 assistance line for details.

The County of Santa Clara, home to Silicon Valley and the computer tech industry, came up with a fun, clever, and important COVID-19 message. See if you can decipher the code in the billboard image above.

var still_alive = true;

while (still_alive) {

   WearMask ( );

   Stay6ftApart( );

   WashHands( );

   GetTested( );

}

Basically, if the var (or variable) equals true, then, wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, wash your hands, and get tested if you think you have symptoms. That's how the computer will interpret this message.

Equity Measure Emphasizes Health, Economic Recovery for All - What is an equity measure and why is it important? The state’s COVID-19 reporting now includes an equity component, which will be used (along with other metrics) to determine a county's tier. Monterey County remains in the Purple Tier, indicating COVID-19 is widespread. The metric looks at areas of a county disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and ties moving to a new tier with improvements in those zones.
