Bucks County will be hosting two public forums on the application process and funding priorities under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The events – one in person and the other being held remotely – will be put on by the Bucks County Human Services Division.

The forums are open to community-based social service providers and agencies, healthcare entities, educational entities and other similar groups and members of the public.

In a statement, the county said the events will “discuss guidelines for applying for these funds, as well as to solicit public comment about projects specific to Bucks County that could benefit from the funding.”

“The Bucks County Human Services Division will be prioritizing funding applications that address a continuum of community needs, including food insecurity, employment, child well-being, mental health, substance use treatment and housing. In the event your organization meets the funding criteria, you may be invited to apply for CARES Act funds. The application form can be viewed here: https://tinyurl.com/y9s7xesq,” the county said.

Due to social distancing, those interested in attending can make a reservation by Tuesday via email at amcrosson@buckscounty.org.
