During the pandemic, many government entities received funding from the federal government to assist with their operations and ensure the community was supported. As with many government-funded programs, our community is often marginalized or not fully informed on the resources available or remaining. To ensure equity in communication and access, BUILD has partnered with King County Equity and Social Justice to inform the Black community about how COVID funding was spent and available programs.

 

Join us as we share relevant information for the Black community about the distribution of $2.16 billion dollars of COVID relief that was delegated and disbursed in King County. Learn more about what programs our community utilized and what programs are still available.
