The East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is commited to sharing information and sources that can help our community in the East Valley during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are resources we found valuable to share with the community in the city of Mesa, Arizona.
On March 27, 2020, the United States Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security or CARES Act.
That Act, which attempts to address issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, includes funding available at the local level for qualifying residents and small businesses among other provisions.
In order to prepare for relief funds, the City of Mesa has launched a program called Mesa CARES to assess our community’s needs.
Part of this program includes the Mesa Community Resource Call Center and web site for businesses and residents to get information and referrals to services.

Online Notary
In partnership with Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Governor Doug Ducey issued an Executive Order allowing Arizonans to get documents notarized remotely, while ensuring secure and effective verification processes. Currently, notaries and signers must complete the notarization process in person. Allowing notarizations to be securely completed virtually will support the state’s COVID-19 “stay home, stay healthy, stay connected” guidelines while allowing the completion of deeds, loan approvals, business agreements and more.
This measure is consistent with Remote Online Notarization, a law passed that allows signers and notaries to meet virtually that takes effect July 1, 2020. The Governor’s Executive Order accelerates this timeline, giving Arizonans the opportunity to utilize virtual notarization starting April 10, 2020.
