1 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
2 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Pandemic Response
3 and Opportunity Through National Service Act’’.
4 SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
5 Congress finds the following:
6 (1) The United States has a strong history of
7 citizen response to national calls to service in order
8 to help the Nation recover in times of crisis.
9 (2) More than 80 years ago, the Nation rose to
10 the challenge of the Great Depression with the cre-
11 ation of citizen service programs like the Civilian
12 Conservation Corps (referred to in this section as
13 the ‘‘CCC’’) and the Works Progress Administration
14 (referred to in this section as the ‘‘WPA’’).
15 (3) Millions of participants benefitted from paid
16 employment and opportunities to develop their skills
17 while constructing national parks and public lands
18 infrastructure and producing cultural works still en-
19 joyed today.
20 (4) Following decades of evolution, incor-
21 porating policies of both political parties, today’s na-
22 tional service programs carry on the legacy of the
23 CCC and WPA.
24 (5) Founded in 1990, the Corporation for Na-
pbinns on DSKJLVW7X2PROD with BILLS
25 tional and Community Service today coordinates na-
26 tional service by individuals in the United States

1 across every State and territory, partnering with
2 State-level commissions and supporting locally driv-
3 en services in partnership with nongovernmental or-
4 ganizations and State governments.
5 (6) National service programs provide public
6 health, education, employment training, and nutri-
7 tion services for which the Nation has a critical need
8 in the current crisis.
9 (7) The signature programs of the Corporation
10 for National and Community Service, which are the
11 AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps Na-
12 tional Civilian Community Corps, AmeriCorps
13 VISTA, and National Senior Service Corps pro-
14 grams, can and should be expanded to meet current
15 needs.
16 (8) The novel coronavirus pandemic has in-
17 fected and killed individuals in every State and terri-
18 tory, causing more than 1,000,000 cases and 65,000
19 deaths so far.
20 (9) In response, States, tribal governments, and
21 cities across the country have closed down busi-
22 nesses, schools, and public events, leading to a dra-
23 matic drop in economic activity and a sharp pro-
24 jected decline in the United States economy.

4
1 (10) More than 30,000,000 applications for un-
2 employment benefits have been filed in recent weeks,
3 with weekly filings repeatedly exceeding historic
4 record levels.
5 (11) More than 1 in every 10 adults in the
6 United States has applied for unemployment insur-
7 ance since the crisis began.
8 (12) Public health leaders agree that to safely
9 reopen the Nation and revive its economy, a massive
10 effort to test millions of individuals in the United
11 States and to trace contacts of those who are or may
12 be infected is needed.
13 (13) To recover, the Nation also needs mean-
14 ingful employment opportunities, as well as a signifi-
15 cant expansion of the human capital working to ad-
16 dress community needs around public health, behav-
17 ioral health, hunger, education, and conservation.
18 (14) As the Nation works to respond to and re-
19 cover from the current twin challenges of a public
20 health pandemic and an economic crisis, national
21 service presents a unique opportunity for flexible, lo-
22 cally driven responses to meet State and local public
23 health, employment, and recovery needs.
