And in May, she announced the second round of funding for the State of Wisconsin to support a coordinated coronavirus response across entitlement and non-entitlement communities.

This federal support will continue to help local communities quickly respond to this pandemic, said Senator Baldwin. I've seen firsthand how Community Development Block Grants help people throughout our state. Now more than ever, this funding is needed for our State partners to support our workers, families and neighborhoods. We're all in this together, so we need to continue working together to get through this public health crisis and move our state forward.
