Coronavirus Updates for Contracting Entities

COVID-19 Guidance

With the end of the Public Emergency Declaration coming in May, TDA will be gradually retiring the COVID-19 Response pages. Current resources such as statewide webinar links, FAQs, and links to additional funding (for example, Supply Chain Assistance funds), will remain on these pages until they can be incorporated into a more permanent space on SquareMeals. TDA will announce the move of any current resources on this page and in newsletters.
