These grants, awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), were authorized by the CARES Act, which was signed into law on March 27.
“Almost every community across the U.S. has been impacted by coronavirus. That includes many here in Southern Illinois, especially St. Clair and Madison counties, which have been the hardest hit in our district so far," Bost said. "These grants, which were made possible through the CARES Act, will give them much-needed funding to help flatten the curve and keep families safe and healthy.”
Madison County will receive a grant totaling $1,755,949, while the St. Clair County grant is for $2,154,333
