On July 1, 2025, City Council unanimously approved an emergency housing assistance program for Santa Ana families impacted by immigration enforcement. The program uses local funds from the City's events budget; $100,000 has been set-aside for this program.
What is Ayuda Sin Fronteras?
Santa Ana Ayuda Sin Fronteras ("Help without borders") is a city-led emergency relief program providing direct assistance to families affected by immigration enforcement actions. If you or a loved one has been detained, deported, or otherwise impacted by immigration enforcement activity, we're here to help. If you need help completing the application, feel free to drop by City Hall or the WORK Center and we will help you complete an application. This program is only available to Santa Ana residents.
What do we offer?
We offer emergency housing assistance grants for families that have been impacted by immigration enforcement (ICE/CBP/Border Patrol) activity. We offer up to one month's worth of housing expenses to help with past due rent and utility bills.
How do I qualify?
Basic qualifications for the Ayuda Sin Fronteras program are that households need to be renters within Santa Ana, at or below Moderate Income (see table below), and to have been impacted by immigration enforcement actions. Proof of impact from immigration enforcement activity will need to be provided, or a signed third-party verification form will need to be provided.
