HVAC
Due to the pandemic, local government entities are having to take actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In the CARES Act, HUD was allocated funding to prevent, prepare, and respond to the virus. From that funding, the State of Louisiana has been appropriated $44,336,196. Of that amount, OCD has allocated $25,000,000 for upgrades to HVAC and ventilation systems in publicly-owned community facilities. $12,500,000 will be available for large applicants (local governments with populations of 10,000 or more) and $12,500,000 will be available for small applicants (local governments with populations of 9,999 or less). The application deadline for this program has closed and no additional applications are being accepted.
