HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today announced emergency grants of nearly $35 million in grants to 131 public and not-for-profit entities that suffered losses because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"America's healing resilience is stronger than ever. And, the Department of Health and Human Services is determined to support that healing process," Secretary Thompson said. "These grants offer a bit of compassion in this time of turmoil, and will help people and organizations start to rebuild."

Grants were made to entities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Virginia and Pennsylvania, which incurred health care-related expenses or lost revenue as a result of their immediate response to the public health emergency caused by the attacks. Individual grants range between $1,000 and $1 million.

The awards go to grantees for expenses incurred in the provision of health care-related services that were needed as a direct result of the terrorist acts. Examples of allowable costs are personnel costs, supplies and contractual expenses, and may include capital equipment, repair of public facilities, renovations and alterations, and other capital expenditures essential to the provision of health care-related services. Lost or foregone revenue directly attributable to the terrorist acts also is considered an eligible cost.
