FEMA’s Public Assistance program will be hosting a national webinar for Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients, as well as those in the health care community, to learn about the policy that supports vaccine participation throughout communities.
As more Americans receive the Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine, the end of the pandemic and a return to normal life are in sight. Join us from 2 to 3 p.m. ET on May 25 for a webinar where FEMA program experts will discuss the availability of funds to assist communities with marketing and advertising efforts to inform the public on vaccine safety and availability, as well as ensure equal access to vaccination sites. FEMA will also be joined by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) representatives who will share information about helping encourage vaccinations throughout the nation with community leaders and other resources.
When you register, you will also have the option of submitting questions to be answered during the webinar.
American Sign Language interpretation and closed captioning will be available during the webinar. Participation will be limited to 3,000, but the webinar will be recorded and made available post-event on FEMA.gov.

On May 4, 2021, the White House announced $250 million to support two funding opportunities for community-based organizations to hire and mobilize community outreach workers. Today, HRSA is pleased to announce the availability of the second notice of funding opportunity announcement (NOFO) titled Community-Based Workforce to Increase COVID-19 Vaccine Access.
The purpose of the program is to support communities as they establish, expand, and sustain a public health workforce to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. This includes the hiring of community outreach workers, which includes community health workers, patients navigators, and social support specialists, to educate and assist individuals in accessing and receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
Eligible applicants for this NOFO include nonprofit private or public organizations, including local and/or regional community-based organizations (CBOs) with demonstrated experience in implementing public health programs, particularly in medically underserved areas. This includes Tribes and Tribal organizations.
For further information on the NOFO, please visit View Opportunity | GRANTS.GOV

Join the Made to Save Coalition for a workshop about how to talk to your friends and family about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Talking to your friends and family about getting COVID-19 vaccinated is one of the best ways you can help the people you care about get the information they need to make a plan to get vaccinated. Studies show that people are 40% more likely to get vaccinated if they know a friend or family member who was vaccinated, too. That's why you're one of our most important messengers to increasing trust and access to the vaccines.
This training will be recorded and made publicly available on our website.
