Alameda County will prioritize relief for renters who make less than 30% of AMI and/or are at heightened risk of homelessness, including due to a history of incarceration. It will also target tenants who live in affordable housing or units owned by small, economically vulnerable landlords (1-5 units). Initially, Alameda County will pay 100% of back rent for the renters that are most vulnerable to serious housing insecurity. After that, the County will only be able to provide 80% of back rent, requiring landlords to forgive the remaining 20%. If there’s money remaining, the County may be able to pay a portion of future rent on behalf of the tenant. Families can apply online here.

Foothill and Amador Valley premiered their original musical revue 'On Broadway!' on March 26! This virtual show includes selections from a variety of musicals including Les Miserables, Dear Evan Hansen and Shrek the Musical.

“The show must go on....our students needed to perform, so how do we do this during Covid? We make a movie!” AVHS drama teacher Lynn Kirksey, who wrote the musical, said. “It was a challenge following all the protocols, but we did this safely and are very proud of the outcome.”

Purchasing the rights to a broadway musical can cost nearly $10,000, in addition to other components of putting on a high school musical, including sets, costumes and props. The cancellation of last year’s joint musical due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a $14,000 loss to PUSD high school programs - which motivated the creation of the original production. Amador Valley and Foothill teachers hope to have enough donations to put on a full musical in 2022. Donations to the high schools’ musical collaboration can be made at pusdedu.info/musicaldonation.
