COVID-19 Test Kits Are Available at Federally Qualified Community Health Centers

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Health Resources & Services Administration is making at-home COVID-19 test kits available to their federally qualified community health centers (FQHC). FQHCs/community health centers will be able to request supplies on a regular basis to deliver at-home COVID-19 tests to their patients and their community partners. This includes people experiencing homelessness and residents of HUD-assisted housing.

If Multifamily owners/management agents would like access to at-home tests for residents, reach out to your FQHC/community health center partners.
