Atlanta is getting another $11 million to help people who are homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.

The money comes from a federal relief package that Congress passed in March. Atlanta can use the funds to pay for hotel rooms, cover the costs of shelters or to provide mental health services.

The $11 million grant is just the latest from the congressional relief bill known as the CARES Act.
