FEMA Awards Over $5.5 Million to Cambridge Health Alliance for COVID Staffing Costs T he Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending more than $5.5 million to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to reimburse Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) and the Cambridge Public Health Commission for the cost of contracting for additional staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The $5,540,343 Public Assistance grant will reimburse CHA for the cost of contracting for temporary staff to respond to the surge in patents caused by the pandemic between April and June 2021. During that time CHA, a health network affiliated with Harvard Medical School and serving area including some communities north of Boston, increased staffi ng by contracting with several companies for additional staff in inpatient units, intensive care units, emergency departments, respiratory clinic, COVID testing facilities, pharmacy and laboratory. “FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Cambridge Health Alliance with these costs,” said FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator Lori Ehrlich. “Reimbursing state, county, and municipal governments – as well as eligible non-profi ts and tribal entities – for the costs incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic is an important part of our nation’s ongoing recovery.” FEMA’s Public Assistance program is an essential source of funding for states and communities recovering from a federally declared disaster or emergency. So far, FEMA has provided more than $2.6 billion in Public Assistance grants to Massachusetts to reimburse the Commonwealth for pandemic-related expenses.
