Obligate Remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding
ISSUE
In accordance with ARPA guidelines, all remaining ARPA funding must be obligated no later than December
31, 2024, and fully expended by December 31, 2026.
BACKGROUND
On March 10, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was enacted, providing a $1.9 trillion relief
package. This legislation allocated funds to various sectors including state and local aid, education, rental
assistance, and transit. The City was allocated $5.68 million, with the first installment received in June 2021
and the second installment in July 2022. All funds must be expended or contractually committed by
December 31, 2024.
DISCUSSION
The following table details the flow of ARPA funds over three years of council -approved expenditures. The
unallocated funds are attributed to expenditures that have not fully utilized their budget allocation. Further
recommendations for the allocation of these funds will be provided in due course.
