On Thursday Governor Laura Kelly announced a second round of Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Response Supplement funds to 56 Kansas communities. A total of more than $7.2 million in Federal CARES Act funding is being disbursed to assist communities affected by the pandemic and its economic effects.
In a statement Governor Kelly said, "this is vital assistance that will strengthen local economies, improve the lives of Kansas residents, and keep our economy open for business."
These grants are available in two categories. Economic Development grants provide communities with funding to help local businesses retain jobs. Meal Program grants can be directed toward organizations such as Meals on Wheels, local food banks, or to support organizations providing meals for children impacted by the loss of school meal programs.
