This one-pager includes links to key hubs that provide access to the majority of relevant data from a variety of sources. It is meant to be an easy reference for SLTT users to help them access the variety of data available and to facilitate greater understanding of COVID-19 impacts.Please feel free to distribute to all of your partners, including all levels of government and non-government. We hope you find this useful. If you have any feedback please provide to the CPCB-RSF@fema.dhs.gov mailbox.

· Enabled contractors to assist in the completion of streamlined project applications, reducing the burden on Applicants,

· Updated the EHP Temporary Facility Survey, to gather better information for understanding EHP impacts,

· Enabled the edit/cancellation of an Amendment Request, to avoid projects getting held up when an Amendment is found not to be needed, and
