**Transportation For Detroit Residents **

Get a Ride, Get a Test Beginning Monday, April 6th, Detroiters can get a $2 ride to the Joe Dumars Fieldhouse at the State Fairgrounds to receive a COVID-19 test. People that can't provide the $2 will still be able to get a ride. The COVID-19 tests at the Fair-grounds are free, and you DO NOT need a pre-scription to get a test. How it works:

Make a Fairgrounds Appointment - If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 of have come in contact with an infected person, call 313-230-0505 to make an appointment.

Don’t have transportation? - Tell the call taker who books your Fairgrounds appointment. They will connect you directly to the car service to book your $2 ride. The rides are only for De-troiters being picked up and dropped off at a De-troit residence. Wheelchair accessible transpor-tation options to the testing site are separate from the city's existing paratransit service.

Patients will be able to have a family, friend, or caregiver go with them.

The day of your test - When your driver arrives, bring your identification (if you don’t have a state issued ID, you can bring any other piece of identification such as a work badge, utility bill, etc.). Both the driver and passenger will be asked to wear masks and gloves for their protec-tion. After the test, the driver will take you back home. Special thank you to IntelliRide for providing transportation services, and Gary Torgow and ITC Holdings for their generous contributions that made the transportation program possible.

Research shows that masks can greatly reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19, especially when approximately 40% of those who have COVID-19 may be asymptomatic. We can only contain the virus and keep Michigan open if everyone stays careful and masks up when they leave home, whether they feel sick or not.

***MASKS ARE REQUIRED***

Per recent Executive Order, Michiganders are required to wear a face covering whenever they are in an indoor pub-lic space. It also requires the use of face coverings in crowded outdoor spaces. Businesses open to the public will refuse entry or service to those who decline to wear a face covering.

HOW A MASK WORKS

• All of us have droplets in coughs and

• COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact. • All of us have droplets in coughs and sneezes that can carry COVID-19 to

others. • Coughs spray droplets at least 6 feet. Sneezes travel as far as 27 feet.

Droplets also may spread when we talk or raise our voice. • These droplets can land on your face or in your mouth, eyes and nose. • When you wear a mask, it keeps more of your droplets with you. • A mask also adds an extra layer of protection between you and other

people’s droplets.

How to Make Cloth Face Coverings

CDC recommends that you wear cloth face coverings in public settings when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distanc-ing measures are difficult to maintain. Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by peo-ple in public settings. Simple cloth face coverings can be made at home and may help prevent the spread of COVID-19

Who should NOT use cloth face coverings: children under age 2, or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance. Cloth face coverings are NOT surgical masks or N95 respirators. Currently, surgical masks and N95 respirators are critical supplies that should be re-served for healthcare workers and other first re-sponders.

Sew and No Sew Instructions

Materials • Two 10”x6” rectangles of cotton fabric • Two 6” pieces of elastic (or rubber bands, string, cloth strips, or hair ties) • Needle and thread (or bobby pin) • Scissors

Tutorial

1. Cut out two 10-by-6-inch rectangles of cotton fabric. Use tightly woven cotton, such as quilting fabric or cotton sheets. T-shirt fabric will work in a pinch. Stack the two rectangles; you will sew the mask as if it was a single piece of fabric.

2. Fold over the long sides ¼ inch and hem. Then fold the double layer of fabric over ½ inch along the short sides and stitch down.

3. Run a 6-inch length of 1/8-inch wide elastic through the wider hem on each side of the mask. These will be the ear loops. Use a large needle or a bobby pin to thread it through. Tie the ends tight. Don’t have elastic? Use hair ties or elastic head bands. If you only have string, you can make the ties longer and tie the mask behind your head.

4. Gently pull on the elastic so that the knots are tucked inside the hem. Gather the sides of the mask on the elastic and adjust so the mask fits your face. Then securely stitch the elastic in place to keep it from slipping.

Materials • Bandana, old t-shirt, or square cotton cloth (cut approximately 20”x20”) • Rubber bands (or hair ties) • Scissors (if you are cutting your own cloth)

Make sure your cloth face covering:

• fits snugly but comfortably against the side of the face • completely covers the nose and mouth • is secured with ties or ear loops • includes multiple layers of fabric • allows for breathing without restriction • can be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to

Prevent Eviction for Non-Payment of Rent

Might I get an eviction notice for non-payment of rent after August

15, 2020?

Yes. Unless a longer eviction moratorium is in effect under state or local law, starting on August 15, 2020, your PHA or landlord can give you an eviction notice if you have not paid your rent or entered into a repayment agreement. Federal law under the CARES Act requires that the eviction notice provided at the end of the moratorium gives the tenant at least 30 days to vacate the property, but a longer notice peri-od may be required by state or local law. If you receive an eviction notice, you must follow the local process for eviction proceedings. If you feel you are being wrongfully evicted, contact your local legal aid organization or social service agencies. If you are a Voucher partici-pant, you may also contact your local PHA. If you are a public housing participant, you have the right to a grievance procedure as stated in your lease.

What can I do to avoid eviction if I have unpaid rent due?

Rent was still due and has accumulated if it was unpaid. If you have any unpaid rent, talk to your PHA right away about the possible options below:

(1) If you have had a decrease in income or change in circumstances that made it difficult to pay your rent on time, ask your PHA to recertify your income. For both public housing participants and Voucher participants, the PHA will review your current income and adjust your rent to reflect the change. Tip! If the change in income was not reported promptly, ask the PHA about their policy on ret-roactive rent adjustments (some may allow them, some may not). You could also ask the PHA if you are eligible for a minimum rent hardship exemption. All PHAs are required to provide minimum rent hardship exemptions. You can review the PHA’s Admission and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) or Administrative Plan for information of the PHA’s local policies for hardship exemptions, or you can reach out to the PHA directly.

(2) All public housing participants and Voucher participants have the option to pay the back rent in a lump sum by July 24, 2020. Your PHA and landlord cannot charge late fees or interest for rent due in the months of April, May, June, and July of 2020. (3) If you cannot pay the back rent in a lump sum, ask your PHA or

your landlord (if you are a Voucher participant) if you can enter into a repayment agreement for any unpaid rent. See below for more information on repayment agreements. o Tip! The $1,200+ Federal Economic Impact payment (stimulus payment) was NOT included in your income calculation. This could be used as a re-source to help with the unpaid rent. Nearly all residents who are U.S. Citizens are eligible for this payment. If you have not received a stimulus payment, please visit this webpage to check the status of your payment and fill out a simple form: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment. o Tip! The additional $600 per week

in temporary unemployment benefits provided by the CARES Act was NOT included in your income calculation. If you received this extra benefit, this could be used as a resource to help with the unpaid rent. If you lost your job and have not yet applied for un-employment benefits, you can find more information on how to apply for unemployment benefits at: www.usa.gov/unemployment; www.careeronestop.org/LocalHelp/UnemploymentBenefits. Note: the additional $600 per week temporary unemployment benefits provided by the CARES Act expires on July 31, 2020 and applying now would not secure this additional payment benefit, but you may still be eligible for regu-lar unemployment insurance.

(4) Your PHA may know about local resources to help with rent, utili-

ties and other basic needs. You can also dial 211 from any phone or visit 211.org for information on emergency financial assis-tance. Please also see the services and resources section at the end of this document for a list of possible resources.

What is a repayment agreement and what will be the terms to avoid eviction? A repayment agreement is a written and signed contract between you and the PHA (for Public Housing participants) or your landlord (for Voucher participants) that establishes the amount you are be-hind in rent and an agreement on how much of that you will pay each month and for how many months (e.g. you owe $500 and you agree that you will pay $50 extra, in addition to your regular rent, each month, for 10 months). Entering into a repayment agreement will be at the PHA or landlord’s discretion. Late and missed payments of the repayment agreement may result in termination of tenancy and/or assistance. For public housing participants, the terms of the repay-ment agreement will be outlined in the PHA’s Admission and Contin-ued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) and in the written repayment agree-ment. Voucher participants will need to negotiate directly with your landlord to determine the terms of the repayment agreement.

***IF YOU’VE HAD A LOSS OF INCOME, TALK TO YOUR PHA RIGHT AWAY ABOUT A POSSIBLE RENT

*COVID-19 Information & Safety Concerns *

What should I do if I test positive for COVID-19?

Your PHA may ask you to self-report if you test positive or are exposed to someone who tests positive to help protect other tenants and staff. You are not required to tell your PHA or landlord about a diagnosis. However, sharing this information can help protect staff and other peo-ple you may have contacted.

Do I have a right to know if other tenants test positive for COVID-19?

Your PHA does not have to share an active COVID-19 diagnosis with you. However, some PHAs may be notifying tenants if someone in their building has tested positive for COVID-19. with PHA staff entering your home without PPE, such as a face covering or mask, please kindly ask the PHA staff that they should follow the CDC guidance and recommendations from state or local health officials.

What if I have questions or concerns about property management and maintenance?

You should continue to contact your PHA or landlord with concerns about property management and maintenance requests. Responses to non-emergency concerns or requests may be limited or delayed. Some PHAs have physically closed their offices to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but are available by telephone, email, or their online portal. Some offices may have reduced in-person support and/or may only be re-sponding to emergencies. Check if there are flyers or messages posted in your building or around the property management office with more information.

Is the PHA required to professionally clean my unit if there are infect-ed individual(s) in my building?

No, the PHA is responsible for cleaning in the common areas and you are responsible for your unit.

Can I require inspectors to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) before entering my unit?

Yes, if you are uncomfortable with PHA staff entering your home with-out PPE, such as a face covering or mask, please kindly ask the PHA staff that they should follow the CDC guidance and recommendations from state or local health officials.

*Protections for Domestic and Sexual Violence *

What is VAWA? And am I covered by VAWA protections?

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides protections for vic-tims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (referred to as “VAWA crimes”). Protections are available regardless of gender.

Did my VAWA protections change due to the quarantine for COVID-19?

No, if you are a victim of a VAWA crime, your protections remain the same during COVID-19. You cannot be denied assistance or have assis-tance terminated based on or as a direct result of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additionally, being a victim of VAWA crimes cannot be considered a serious or repeated violation of your lease or a good cause for terminating your assistance, tenancy, or occupancy. However, the PHA or owner will evaluate incidents on a case-by-case basis when an actual and imminent threat to other ten-ants is present.

What if I need to move to escape abuse during COVID-19?

You can still request an emergency transfer from your PHA. Every PHA is required to have an emergency transfer plan that details who is eligible, what documentation is required (if any), how the PHA will protect confidentiality, and how the PHA will process emergency transfer requests.

What kind of documentation do I need for an emergency transfer request?

PHAs are not required to request documentation and may accept a verbal statement. Documentation requirements will be included in the PHA’s emergency transfer plan. If documentation is required, you may provide any following options of your choice: either self-certify using (Form HUD-5382) OR provide a document from someone who has helped you with the abuse (an employee, agent, or volunteer of a victim service provider, an attorney, or medical professional or a men-tal health professional) OR an administrative record (including police reports and restraining orders).

What if I need to get the abuser out my unit during COVID-19?

Your VAWA rights are still protected during COVID-19. If a household member is engaging in criminal activity directly related to a VAWA crime, contact your PHA or owner to discuss the options available to you.

What is the safest and most confidential way to communicate with a PHA in cases where the perpetrator is a member of the household?

Please let the PHA know the safest way to communicate with you. All information shared with the PHA must be held in strict confidence.

Does this mean that a VAWA victim cannot be evicted or have their

assistance terminated?

No, VAWA does not prohibit a PHA or owner from evicting or termi-nating assistance for violations not premised on a VAWA crime. The PHA or owner must hold you to the same standard as other tenants. The PHA/owner may still evict you for serious or repeated lease viola-tions not based on VAWA or if the PHA/owner can demonstrate that there is an actual and imminent threat other tenants or staff.

Is the PHA required to tell me about my VAWA housing protections?

Yes, your PHA must inform you of your VAWA protections no later than when you are denied admission or assistance, when you are pro-vided assistance, and when you receive notification of termination of assistance.

What should I do If I am upset, in crisis, or want to talk to someone

right away?

We hope that Wide Open School helps make learning from home an experience that inspires kids, supports teachers, relieves families, and restores community. This site was built in a matter of days on a shared vision. We plan to keep building until things get back to normal. A group of more than 25 organizations came together and raised their hands to help, and many more are joining on a daily basis. Watch for new features and content partners fre-quently.

Wide Open School is a free collection of the best online learning experiences for kids curated by the editors at Common Sense. There is so much good happening, and we are here to gather great stuff and organize it so teachers and families can easily find it and plan each day.

This crisis has reminded us of our deep appreciation for the work teachers do every day in their classrooms. At Wide Open School, we celebrate teachers—and parents—as they take on this new challenge. We'll discover and highlight teachers who are figuring out how to light up an online class-room and invite them to share their tips and wisdom to help blend home and school. Wide Open School can only fulfill its mission if all kids and families can access it.

We know that millions of kids are without home broadband and/or computers, leaving them with-out access to critical learning and support services. We will persistently highlight the need to con-nect all kids, and we won't rest until we have played our part in closing the digital divide. As we do so, Wide Open School will offer many resources that can be completed offline and on smartphones, as well as bilingual and English-language learner resources.
