The Federal Emergency Management Agency this week simplified procedures for its Public Assistance Program, which provides disaster response grants to non-profit health care organizations and others. In another policy change, during the COVID-19 public health emergency, the program also will allow nonprofit health care facilities to sign retroactive agreements  with their state or local governments to fund certain eligible emergency work, including reimbursement for child care services and shared transportation services provided to health care workers early in the pandemic.
