Vice President Harris on Monday
announced a $250
million grant program aimed at boosting “health literacy” and ensuring
Americans in underserved communities have information about coronavirus
vaccines and other issues.
“Our administration will offer $250
million in grants for localities to partner with community organizations on
health literacy,” Harris announced in virtual remarks before the National
League of Cities conference on Monday. “Our goal is to provide underserved communities
with the information they need to stay safe and to get vaccinated.”
“Information and education saves
lives,” she added.
The vice president said that the Biden
administration anticipates funding 30 projects in urban communities and 43 in
rural communities over two years. Harris said that localities can apply for
grants through the program with the Department of Health and Human Services
through April 20. READ
