In the coming days, the Biden Administration is expected to announce the next tranche from the Provider Relief Fund. Argentum has been leading advocacy efforts to prioritize immediate relief to senior living providers, and we are calling on all senior living advocates to amplify our message to HHS and the Biden Administration: Relief must be prioritized to senior living providers!
As you know, relief to date has been insufficient to meet the more than $15 billion that providers have incurred in expenses/losses last year alone from COVID-19, with only $1 billion allocated so far. Last month, 59 members of the House of Representatives and 25 Senators joined our call by sending a letter to the administration urging targeted and equitable relief.
In the final days before an announcement is made on the next tranche of funding, we urgently need the Administration to hear from leaders in Congress that senior living must be prioritized for relief.
Taking action is quick and easy! Pre-written messages are available that can be sent directly to your member of Congress (just add your contact information), or you can call your representative and Senators and follow our phone-script.
Thank you for joining us in this important effort.
