Good morning -
On yesterday's call, it was mentioned that DOJ has a grant solicitation out for Coronavirus expenditures entitled the Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program Solicitation FY 2020 Formula Grant Solicitation. Here is a link to the grant documents:

And here is a link to the amounts that have been awarded: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/fy20-cesf-allocations
Additionally, below my signature line is the DOJ's response as to how the funds can be used (and contact info at DOJ on this) regarding the use of these funds.

To: XXXXXXXX>
This is not a Byrne grant, so the allowable uses are expanded beyond the normal law enforcement rules. The funds may be used for preventing, preparing for, and responding to the coronavirus so that could include Fire and Health. I encourage you to collaborate with the grantee in XXXXX so that a consolidated budget can be prepared.
Thanks
Tracey
