Vermont gets more than $150 million in COVID vaccination and mitigation funds

Mon, 04/19/2021 - 12:52pm tim Vermont Business Magazine Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Representative Peter Welch (D-Vermont) announced Monday that Vermont recently received more than $150 million through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance Program. The funding will reimburse the State of Vermont for the cost of COVID-19 vaccine distribution and for hotel and motel rooms for vulnerable unhoused Vermonters and others who needed a place to temporarily quarantine. Leahy, Sanders and Welch said: “This funding helps the State to get shots in arms and slow the spread of COVID among our most vulnerable citizens. By offering safe, temporary housing to those who need it most, we can protect our neighbors and continue to quickly vaccinate Vermonters so we can beat this terrible virus.”

Leahy leads letter calling for additional relief for state and local governments

Mon, 02/01/2021 - 4:17pm tim Vermont Business Magazine Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) Monday released a letter joined by 12 other Senators calling for additional relief for state, localities, and tribal governments in the next COVID relief package, including a strong all-state minimum to ensure every state can meet the economic and public health challenges the nation still faces. In March, Congress established the Coronavirus Relief Fund in the CARES Act.  The fund provided direct support to state and local governments to support local business, provide the necessary resources to schools, and secure personal protective equipment for frontline workers.  In the months since Congress passed the CARES Act, many states have exhausted these resources even as the economic and health crisis worsened.

As the Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Leahy secured several key priorities for Vermont in the fiscal year 2021 spending package. The overall bill – which includes the 12 annual Appropriations bills that fund the federal government – totals more than $2.3 trillion in funding for programs across the federal government and efforts to combat the pandemic and provide relief to the American people.
