March 30, 2020 – U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis announced today that seven communities in IL-13 have received a total of $4,851,118 in Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Disaster Recovery grants to combat the impacts of the coronavirus. This funding was appropriated through the CARES Act, which Congressman Davis voted for and President Trump signed into law on Friday, March 27th. The CDBG grants are flexible funding to states and local governments for a range of services to address coronavirus impacts at the community level.
“This federal funding will allow our local communities to respond to the specific needs they have,” said Davis. “I’ve heard from mayors and county board chairs about the need for federal funding to deal with a wide-range of impacts the coronavirus pandemic is having on our shared constituencies.”
