CARES
Continued from page A1
in accordance with the guiding principal plans.
District 4 area super- visor, Eddie Valero, said the updated plan reflects the diverse needs of the Central Valley.
"We continue to sup- port our small business- es with grant support, along with rental, mort- gage and utility assis- tance for those suffering through hardship at this time," Valero said. "The revision also includes a plethora of safety mea- sures for the following departments: Health and Human Services Agen- cy, Information Tech- nology, General Services Agency, Auditor-Control- ler, and the Chief Admin- istrative Office."
HHSA received $18,316.99 and $9.9 mil-
lion will be used for lo- cal government support and $8,364,634 for com- munity investment.
"The county is in the business of providing re- sources across the Coun- ty and we are following through with our mission of service, innovation, and boldness to enhance the quality of life for all," Valero said.
Valero added, " It is a difficult task, especially during a pandemic, but we are working together to move our county forward."
The city of Dinuba has applied for two types of CARES Act funding, according to Daniel James, assistant city manager.
The first was for re- imbursements for COV- ID-19 related expenses. The grant is still cur- rently being worked on and will reimburse the
city for expenses such as masks, hand sanitiz- ers, and PPE equipment for public personnel, and other expenses the city has incurred in response to the pandemic, accord- ing to James.
The second is through a Community Develop- ment Block Grant pro- gram. Dinuba City Council approved the application for $125,000 in CARES Act funding for a Busi- ness Assistance Program.
“Staff is currently preparing the guide- lines, but the goal is to make the program as flexible as possible within the parameters of the CDBG funding guidelines,” said James. “We do not have a firm date for the launch of this program, but hope- fully our application will be processed and awarded quickly.”
