BOSTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending
more than $1 million to Emmanuel College to reimburse the college for
the cost of contracting to administer diagnostic testing for staff and
students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $1,041,054 Public Assistance grant will reimburse the private
Catholic college in Boston for the cost of providing 35,140 tests
between January and July 2021, as well as providing professional and
support staffing for the testing, scheduling, symptoms checking,
monitoring, and results reporting.

“FEMA is pleased to be able to assist Emmanuel College with these
costs,” said FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator Lori Ehrlich.
“Providing resources for our institutions of higher education to
combat the COVID-19 pandemic is critical to their success, and to our
success as a nation.”

FEMA’s Public Assistance program is an essential source of funding
for states, communities and certain private non profit organizations
recovering from a federally declared disaster or emergency.

So far, FEMA has provided more than $1 billion in Public Assistance
grants to Massachusetts to reimburse the commonwealth for
pandemic-related expenses.
