Navigating COVID-19 Response and Recovery Funding

Congress has appropriated funding across a broad range of federal agencies to help states, local governments, territories, tribal nations, and other entities respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet capacity-strained public agencies face an immense challenge meeting continued and pressing public health needs while understanding, navigating, and using these new resources.

Join the Bipartisan Policy Center on May 19 for a webinar with members of BPC’s new disaster reform task force, a group of experts in navigating federal funding streams like FEMA’s public assistance program and HUD community development block grants. This discussion will explore ways public officials can use critical COVID-19-related federal aid most effectively and opportunities for federal policymakers to further support on-the-ground pandemic response efforts.

Join us on Zoom.
