Have you <br />experienced a <br />decrease in TOTAL <br />HOUSEHOLD <br />income of 30% or <br />more? <br />Yes <br />Please explain how <br />your general <br />livelihood has been <br />impacted by COVID- <br />19. <br />I make handpoked tattoos in my home studio, which falls somewhere <br />between Filipino traditional arts and v isual arts. Naturally, it is <br />impossible to create socially distanced tattoos, and I typically made <br />6-8 tattoos per week at $100 per tattoo, which paid for my portion of <br />the rent. Due to the nature of my work, I do not typically exhibit in <br />galleries or hav e extended contracts beyond multi-session tattoos. In <br />addition to building my handpoke practice, I was let go by my day job <br />as a community organizer. <br />Have you applied for <br />unemployment <br />benefits? <br />Yes <br />Have you been <br />approved for <br />benefits? <br />No, I was denied benefits <br />W hy were you <br />denied benefits? <br />deemed ineligible due to not meeting the required time duration <br />spent at my prior workplace <br />Grant amount <br />requested: <br />600 <br />How do you intend to <br />use the grant, if <br />awarded? <br />I intend to use this money to pay my rent. <br />How else may we <br />help you right now? <br />I will hopefully be applying to other arts grants, so nothing at the <br />moment.
