Sununu took the time to summarize the funds out there or left in accounts aimed to help provide financial relief from the pandemic through the federal CARES Act.
There are eight programs currently available with money to give away, Sununu said.
– The empowering youth program by DHHS for programs that help middle- and high school-aged kids. There is $2 million for non-profit and for-profit institutions that provide summer and recreation opportunities for youths. Applications will be taken till Aug. 16.
– The GAP Fund has $30 million for those businesses and nonprofits which did not qualify for other programs. The deadline for applications closes Aug. 4.
– Traditional Veterans Services Support Program. This helps provide transportation, home services, physical therapy, and other services veterans who have come up short on funding due to the pandemic. Application ends Aug. 10 for those organizations.
– Veterans Services Organization Fund. This is for the VFWs and other institutions that have lost revenue due to the pandemic. That application also closes Aug. 10.
– A re-launch is being announced for the Health Care Provider Program, one of the first funds which were provided to keep health care and hospital providers at work. The state will reopen that fund for a third round. This can help for providers of behavioral health, doctors, and others and the application went live Thursday and runs through Aug. 13.
– A relaunch of the Long-Term Care Provider Program. Today about $11 million has been given out and another $19 million is available, Sununu said. Even if you have already received money, you can re-apply and the application period ends Aug. 13.
– A relaunch of the Safe Scholars Campus Modification Plan. About $10 million was launched to support private nonprofit colleges and universities.
“We put a lot in the public systems but this program goes specifically to private schools,” Sununu said. It launches Friday and institutions must be New Hampshire-based, approved, and accredited and have an endowment of less than $300 million.
“We want to make sure those doors are open as much as possible,” he said.
The application is open for one week for these institutions.
– NH Housing Relief Program. Regional CAPs (community action programs) are distributing $35 million to help pay people’s rent and to help people stay in their homes and avoid evictions.
Many are concerned that with the lifting of the moratorium on evictions and the loss of $600 federal weekly stimulus that there will be this perfect storm of evictions.
“That is why I created a $35 million fund,” Sununu said, using federal dollars for coronavirus relief.
He said one “big” area of concern is also commercial evictions for businesses. He said he hoped the Main Street relief fund would cover a lot of that loss.
Duty to Report
Sununu and Shibinette said there is no duty for businesses to report to the public if they have had an employee test positive for COVID-19. Shibinette said contact tracing allows the state to contact individuals who have had more than 10 minutes or more of prolonged contact with such individuals and Sununu said requiring the reporting on that would be an infringement on privacy.
