CHICAGO - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal

combat this virus.”

“Areas in and around Cleveland continue to have the second highest
rates of COVID-19 cases in the state,” said Ohio Emergency
Management Agency Executive Director Sima Merick. “This funding
allows for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation to continue its mission of
providing critical medical care to patients.”

FEMA provides a 75 percent federal share of eligible reimbursable
expenses for this project, which totals $46,077,160. The eligible cost
for this project is $61,436,213.
