Need Emergency Staffing Funds?
The Provider Relief Fund web page now includes a portal for applying for $20 billion in additional COVID-19 response funding.
The 3rd phase of the PRF general distribution is open to all health care providers, including care centers, assisted living, and adult day, and provides assistance with increased costs (such as staffing and supplies) and lost revenue due to the pandemic. This PRF distribution is particularly important for assisted living providers that are incurring increased costs for emergency staffing and have no other funding options available.
Providers seeking additional funding will need to report their change in revenue and expenses related to the pandemic through the portal and HHS will then determine their eligibility for funding. The deadline to apply is November 6, but HHS recommends applying as soon as possible.
