Past Program Success

Census Assistance Centers
In 2020, per our US Constitution, the decennial Census was conducted! The State of Oregon recognized that little to no efforts were directed at ensuring ALL communities were counted – specifically, Black, Indigenous and People of Color. Without an accurate count of people residing in the state, appropriate funding is missing for vital programs such as Medicaid, School Lunch programs, publicly funded Veteran assistance programs, and much more!

Recognizing this need, a program was developed to partner with community-based organizations to assist communities in completing their 2020 Census Questionnaires– titling these organizations as Census Assistance Centers. EUVALCREE was one of those organizations. Culturally and linguistically appropriate materials were developed to educate and encourage people to complete their questionnaires. All EUVALCREE staff were trained about the history of the census, its importance, and how the census process happened. We had incredible success in our EUVALCREE centers!

2,100 Households assisted!

OWRF has created multiple funds, all designed to be inclusive of those who were excluded from traditional safety net programs due to their immigration status.

Systems-Based Training

Community 201
Oregon Community Foundation, through the Latino Partnership Program, provided Euvalcree funding for this pilot program. It focused on philanthropy and the grant giving process. It allowed for members of the community to go through the process of granting a local nonprofit organization funds to continue and expand their work in the local community.

Know Your Rights
Euvalcree conducted several trainings in Malheur and Umatilla counties with Oregon Law Center and the Mexican Consulate about Know Your Rights. We conducted trainings that made our undocumented community members aware of their rights in the event they encountered Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at home, work, or on the road.

Rapid Response Training
Euvalcree assisted in providing Rapid Response training to members of our local community. These trainings provided information of how to safely monitor/surveille and report situations and sightings where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were present or seen. Through the training, our community members joined a state-wide network of Rapid Response Teams that work together to keep our communities safe.
