COVID-19 Municipal Debt Resources

CDIAC began providing updates in June 2020 on the number of continuing debt disclosures submitted by California public agencies in response to effects from the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

This page consolidates available information on COVID-19 that relates to municipal debt in one place, so agencies can more quickly and easily educate themselves on these complex issues as they evolve. Follow the links below to jump to sections within this page.
