The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program, part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), delivered $65.1 billion of direct federal aid to all cities, towns and villages across the country in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. SLFRF allowed local leaders to be part of the solution for a nation in distress, as well as provided a template for allocating direct federal funds to local governments in the future. The flexibility afforded by this program has resulted in a wide range of approaches to address residents’ needs--ranging from enhancing public health and safety to revitalizing the municipal workforce, building affordable housing, and stabilizing revenue streams.
