In April 2020 in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, CMSP-GB approved the funding of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Grant (CERG) Program for the benefit of participating CMSP counties. Butte County applied for and was awarded a grant totaling $616,373. This grant provides funding to expand the delivery of services that support local preparedness, containment, recovery and response activities, and is intended to assist CMSP counties in addressing the needs of various low-income populations with or at-risk of COVID-19 conditions. County Administration recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the agreement between CMSP-GB and Butte County. (County Administration)
