Approximately $18.7 million in new CDBG coronavirus response round 1 (CDBG-CV1) federal funds authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, will be allocated to eligible jurisdictions to perform Activities related to COVID-19 response and recovery. The CARES Act provides extra CDBG funds specifically targeted to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.
