COVID-19 Resources & Grants
On March 13, 2020, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation declaring the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a national emergency beginning on March 1, 2020. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Public Law 116-136, was signed by President Trump on March 27, 2020, authorizing the allocation of funds to respond to the growing effects of this historic public health crisis. On April 2, 2020, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated Community Development Block Grant COVID-19 (CDBG-CV) funds to the City of Moore in order to assist in the prevention, preparation for, and response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Programs and assistance available to Moore Residents are listed below. These programs are funded by the CARES Act to aid in relief of COVID-19.
The City of Moore allocated Aging Services, Inc. funding through the CARES Act on May 4, 2020. Aging Services currently delivers meals seven days a week to home-bound elderly living in Cleveland County. Meals are provided following an in-home visit by an ASI Outreach Worker. A donation of $2.25 per meal is suggested for this service. The donation goes back directly into ASI funds to help those who cannot make a donation for this service.
