The legislation passed by the Senate this week reserves $30B in loans for small financial institutions that serve minority and distressed communities—building on the Trump Administration’s work to protect minority Americans who have been hit hard by Coronavirus.
Part of that work is ensuring sufficient testing options. In the past month, @HHSGov has awarded over $1.4B to Community Health Centers—funding that is being used to address screening/testing needs, acquire medical supplies, and boost telehealth capacity in underserved areas.
President @realDonaldTrump is also directing the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council to focus its efforts on supporting distressed communities impacted by the Coronavirus and identifying what additional funding is needed from Congress to best support these areas.
