What it is
The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program, created by the American Rescue Plan Act, delivered $350 billion to state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to support their response to and recovery from the pandemic. It is administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Treasury allocated funds directly to recipient governments rather than through a competitive grant. Those governments then put the money to work across a defined set of eligible uses, frequently by subawarding to contractors, nonprofits, and local projects.
The program runs on firm deadlines: funds had to be obligated by December 31, 2024, and must be spent by December 31, 2026. With the spending window closing, the live questions are what each government obligated, how it is reported, and which projects still need to be delivered on time.
