The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program will provide funding to assist States, local units of government and tribes in preventing, preparing for, and responding to the coronavirus.
Funds must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus.
In Idaho, the Idaho State Police (ISP) is responsible for coordinating one-time Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF). All CESF programs in Idaho must have a criminal justice nexus and use funds for immediate, as well as future needs related to the coronavirus.
Up to $3,521,137 was available to the State of Idaho in one-time funding through the CESF Program
