MONTGOMERY, Ala — Gov. Kay Ivey awarded $35 million in CARES Act funds to establish an Alabama Health Care and Emergency Response Providers grant program.
According to the Governor's Office, the grants will support providers who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
“The health crisis we continue to face has had significant impact on many fronts. Certainly, individuals, groups and different industries have felt a financial toll, which is why I am proud to continue getting the CARES Act money into the hands of Alabamians who need it,” Gov. Ivey said. “The state of Alabama was awarded $1.9 billion in CARES Act money, and my team and I will continue working hard to get it directly to those individuals and groups who have been impacted.”
The grants will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis in amounts of up to $15,000. Applications for the program will be open from October 5 through noon on October 6.
