The City of Spokane said t it accepted and reviewed CARES Act Funding applications for an economic support funding program designed to support residents who have been significantly impacted by COVID-19.
The Spokane City Council earmarked several categories for the distribution support funding in Resolution 2020-0041, according to a press release from the city.
A review committee has chosen six organizations to distribute the funds totaling $2,902,815. The recommendations were reviewed on August 17 at their committee meeting.
“Getting the funding out into the community can be the most time-consuming," Mayor Nadine Woodward said in the press release. "I am thrilled our team was able to make this process as succinct as possible."
The city estimates it will have between $3 million and up to $6 million to allocate and has opened a second round of funding to include direct assistance to non-profits.
“This application process has helped us better understand the needs and we will continue to assess those needs and respond with available funds,” Council President Breean Beggs said in the press release.
