This is great news for so many during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasingly high unemployment combined with lockdowns that have stymied businesses and their employees has resulted in increased financial strains. Even previous to the emergence of this pandemic, many Americans had been living paycheck to paycheck, and things have gotten worse, especially for low-income families already on government assistance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the passing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/the-cares-act-what-you-need-to-know\/\">CARES Act<\/a>, states and government agencies were given funding that could be distributed to cities and municipalities that needed it the most.
