CV-1-11 COVID CARES FUNDS
Talbot County Council held a public hearing on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, in regard to notification that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) had remaining Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program COVID (CV-1-11) funding available for our two active subrecipients (Neighborhood Service Center and St. Michaels Community Center). These funds are being offered as an amendment to the County as we received funding from the first federal CARES Act round through DHCD (in 2020) and again in SFY2025. The SFY2025 amendment, totaling $116,500 included $68,000 for food, equipment and staff for Neighborhood Service Center and $48,500 for food, equipment and staff for St. Michaels Community Center.
The current amendment for the two (2) food pantries subrecipients are: (1) for $75,000 for the Neighborhood Service Center and (2) for $75,000 for the St. Michaels Community Center. After the County Council public hearing on October 28, 2025, each amendment request will be considered for approval by DHCD. The CDBG program reserves the right to deny or reduce funding requests. All funds received must be spent by June 30, 2026, and both food pantries have confirmed that they will be able to meet the deadline.
Current funds as identified above are only available for these current subrecipients as an amendment to the original grant. The funds can be used for services, food supplies, shelter improvements, appliances, and equipment, and food bank facility improvements.
