The CESF Program will provide a total of $850 million to states, local governments, and tribes to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. This includes overtime pay, equipment (including law enforcement and medical personal protective equipment), hiring, supplies (such as gloves, masks, sanitizer), training, travel expenses, and addressing the medical needs of inmates.
