Today, House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairwoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40) announced the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is awarding a disaster grant of $30.9 million to Los Angeles County for Public Assistance Program community-based COVID-19 testing sites. Chairwoman Roybal-Allard oversees FEMA funding as the chairwoman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.

"As new coronavirus cases continue to appear in LA County, it is crucial for my constituents in California's 40th Congressional District to have access to COVID-19 testing in their own communities," said Chairwoman Roybal-Allard. "As Chairwoman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I thank FEMA for awarding these federal funds, which will bolster the capacity of our local community-based testing sites. I will keep fighting for federal funding to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in our communities and across America."
