CARES Act Funding

Throughout the pandemic, CARES Act Funding went to individuals, businesses, and programs to help bolster our community during difficult times. Here's an update on where the funding went in Chesapeake and how it impacted our City.

Vaccinations

All Chesapeake residents are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Find a vaccine appointment near you at Vaccines.gov.

City Services Updates

Online services continue to be a great option for most City business but in-person is also an option. Call the Customer Contact Center (757-382-2489) or the specific department you need to work with to check availability.

Funeral Assistance

Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, FEMA will provide financial assistance for COVID-19-related funeral expenses incurred after January 20, 2020.
