Overview

On March 11, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law. The $1.9 trillion package, based on President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, is intended to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including the public health and economic impacts.

As part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the $362 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLRF) provides local fiscal aid to support urgent COVID-19 response efforts, cover increased expenditures, replenish lost revenue, and mitigate economic harm from the COVID-19 pandemic. The SLFRF program provided governments across the country with the resources needed to recover from the economic impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project information is updated monthly as each accounting period is closed.
