In the Hmong community, funerals
usually lasted last several days

00:00:07.918 --> 00:00:12.652
and and have thousands or 1000
attendees, family and community

3
00:00:12.652 --> 00:00:17.160
members and they were unable to
share in this during COVID.

00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:21.967
Part of our Arbor funds were to
find ways around that our

00:00:21.967 --> 00:00:27.051
partnership with the Minnesota
Department of Corrections as far

6
00:00:27.051 --> 00:00:32.294
as keeping literacy and familial
connection alive for families of

7
00:00:32.294 --> 00:00:34.280
incarcerated individuals.

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.230
So that was a wonderful program
that will continue after you

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:43.000
know the ARPA dollars go away.

10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.833
So, so many things, but from
hotspots to connectivity,

11
00:00:48.833 --> 00:00:55.342
laptops, devices, safe spaces,
ARPA really made a difference in

12
00:00:55.342 --> 00:00:56.360
Minnesota.
