The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 , the most recent coronavirus relief package passed by the government, designates $900 billion for coronavirus relief, including stimulus checks, unemployment benefits, vaccine distribution and aid to small businesses, health care, education, transportation, rental assistance and agriculture. Several provisions in the bill may allow educational institutions, health care providers and small businesses to tackle air quality improvement projects with minimal financial impact. This page outlines several provisions in the legislation and provides links for reference to help GPS customers leverage this program and make informed decisions.

Elementary & Secondary Education
The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, known as ESSER II, has $54.3 billion available which can be used for “repairing and upgrading projects to improve air quality in school buildings.” Please refer to the Department of Education state allocations for more information.

An additional $4.1 billion in funding for education is available through the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER II). Private schools have been allocated $2.75 billion of the fund, known as the Emergency Assistance for Non-Public Schools (EANS), for uses relating to safely reopening schools, continuing instruction and other coronavirus-related costs. The remaining $1.3 billion in GEER II is for governors to use at their discretion, including providing subgrants to local school districts or colleges and universities. Please refer to the Department of Education GEER II and EANS program state allocations for more information.
