COEUR d’ALENE — Children’s Village may not receive $291,000 in federal COVID-19 rescue funds Kootenai County approved last year for payroll subsidies, after the county’s legal counsel determined the nonprofit is not eligible for the money.

Commissioners will convene today at 1:30 p.m. to discuss whether Children’s Village is eligible to receive American Rescue Plan Act funds and are expected to decide the next steps during the regular business meeting at 2 p.m.

Located in Coeur d’Alene, Children’s Village is a nonprofit residential care facility that serves children who are displaced from their families due to abuse, neglect or severe family crisis. Children’s Village provides free short-term respite and emergency shelter, as well as a federally accredited residential treatment program for youth in foster care.
