State provides additional CARES Act CRF allocations

Contact: Candice Bock, Jacob Ewing

Gov. Inslee announced an additional $126 million in Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) allocations for cities and counties that did not receive direct funding from the federal government under the CARES Act. In addition, the deadline to use funds is extended to November 30, 2020.

CRF allocations provide cities access to reimbursements for unbudgeted, COVID-related expenses incurred after March 27, 2020. A chart with updated allocations from the Department of Commerce is now available.

Updated award letters will be sent to each jurisdiction in the coming weeks. The award letters will indicate the new award amount as well as the deadline extension.

For more information on CRF allocations, be sure to check out AWC’s recent webinars, including one specific to small cities.
