Today, the House of Representatives approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act on a voice vote. President Trump will soon sign the bill, which delivers $2 trillion worth of relief to individuals and organizations impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The CARES Act includes several higher education provisions, including a $14.2 billion education stabilization fund to support institutions and students.

Congressional staffers will now begin to assemble a fourth COVID-19 relief package that responds to emerging and existing but unmet needs. A future package is not likely before April 20th when lawmakers return to Washington after a district work period.
