WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Reps. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.) and Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) announced that New Hampshire will receive nearly $2 million to support COVID-19 testing and mitigation efforts. Specifically, $1.47 million will go toward COVID detection and mitigation in prison facilities and $449,760 will go toward populations experiencing homelessness.

The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan and will support efforts to detect, diagnose, trace and monitor infections in highly populated settings. As the infectious Delta variant surges and strikes unvaccinated populations, this funding will help mitigate the risk of further outbreaks.
