WASHINGTON, D.C. – Kentucky’s Second Congressional District has so far received more than $22 million in grants from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) voted for last month. “In a matter of weeks, the ongoing coronavirus outbreak has radically shifted our way of life,” said Guthrie. “Through the CARES Act, we set out to deliver relief to every aspect of this pandemic – from education, to infrastructure needs, to health care, and everything in between. I voted in support of the CARES Act, which is already helping Kentuckians respond to the coronavirus. I will continue to work with my colleagues and the administration to ensure that as grants from the CARES Act are disbursed, the Second District receives the resources it needs to continue fighting this virus and its harmful effects.” The CARES Act provided $2 trillion in funding for coronavirus relief efforts. Grants funded by the CARES Act are being announced on a rolling basis. Second District entities that have received grants are listed below. In addition to the grants listed below, Kentucky health care providers have received $452 million from the Department of Health and Human Services, Kentucky transit providers have received $133 million from the Federal Transit Administration, and the Kentucky Department of Education has received $43 million from the U.S. Department of Education.
