On January 11^th, the Biden Administration announced that the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency would be extended until April in response to infections from a highly transmissible omicron subvariant. This follows a health trend in the U.S., as the emergency declaration has been extended every 90 days since January 2020. The continuance of the public health emergency provides financial resources to invest in indoor air quality (IAQ) by supporting facility repairs and improvements to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in buildings across the United States. With this action, the Federal government has ensured that clean air-focused services and solutions will continue to aid Americans on a significant scale. Homeowners, businesses, and schools will have generous financial incentives to pursue efficient structural improvements to their properties and municipalities, which can produce cleaner air and safer indoor spaces. BPA Solutions is encouraged by the Administration's decision as this funding extension will result in more awareness and proactive efforts by landlords and school administrators to develop healthier environments for many Americans.

IAQ-centered funding, which results as part of the extension of the public health emergency, underlines the work of BPA Solutions.
