Coronavirus (COVID-19) Assistance

The nationwide Presidential emergency declaration issued on March 13, 2020 made FEMA Public Assistance funding available to all states and eligible applicants responding to the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The $2 trillion stimulus package passed by Congress on March 27 containing the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act added numerous other funding sources, including HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. The challenge: many applicants have never had to manage a complex grants management portfolio of this magnitude. We have – and our team is available to provide support and guidance as you navigate this process.

Our Recovery and CDBG experts facilitate the federal grants management process for states, healthcare systems, hospitals, universities and colleges, airport authorities, local governments, and other eligible applicants. We specialize in navigating and staying in compliance with multiple, overlapping federal funding programs, including those authorized under the CARES Act.

This is an evolving event, and our Preparedness team is actively assisting emergency managers across the country with their responses and after-action reporting and with planning for response to other hazards that can affect our communities during a pandemic. The Tidal Basin team is working with clients around the nation on updates of pandemic or infectious disease plans by supporting the development and revision of continuity of operations, business continuity, and emergency operations plans.

We have developed and gathered resources and information to assist you with this process and keep you on top of emerging information. Preparedness doesn’t stop, and we’re here to support you when you need it. Contact us now for assistance.
