COVID-19 PROGRAMMING
Rapid Testing for COVID19 is available in Dillingham at the Curyung COVID Response Center,
which is our building located at 390 West D Street,
between the UAF Bristol Bay Campus and Dillingham Police Department.
Hours of Operation are Monday thru Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM
We've had a lot of calls come in about COVID Individual Assistance - Our CARES Act Program closed in December 2020, with all payments being made by Spring 2021 - The Council is planning to roll out a similar program, using ARPA funds, later this winter.
Right now, we would like to thank our ANCSA Corporations, Choggiung Limited and BBNC for providing individual assistance to their shareholders. In recognition of their need to meet the federal deadline for CARES Act expenditures coming up in December, and in order to provide assistance to individuals in pulses throughout the winter, we do not plan to open our ARPA individual assistance program until the New Year.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Applications must be submitted to our office by 4:30 PM on Wednesday, October, 27, 2021.
Quyana!
