On March 27th, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to directly address the impacts of COVID-19. As part of the CARES Act, Congress appropriated $5 billion to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for allocation to cities and states through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The State of Illinois has been allocated $70,753,404 of these CARES Act CDBG-Coronavirus funds (CDBG-CV funds).  CDBG-CV funds must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. The State of Illinois will offer four programs to meet this goal.
