The Covid-19 Expenditure Data is a report of transactions from the City’s Financial Management System (FMS). This information will be updated on the quarterly basis with additional spending data. In the meantime, please visit the NYC Open Data portal for the dataset:
Technical Note: The expenditures report includes a field on the “Projected Funding Source” which is a working field and represents the latest determination made by the City’s OMB Grants Task Force regarding which State or Federal funding source will likely cover these costs. This determination is subject to change as more information is gathered about these costs, as Federal grant requirements change, and as the City works to carefully balance the wide range of overlapping funds. As a result, the aggregation of expenditures by “Projected Funding Source” in this report will not necessarily equal how much is expected in revenue for that funding source.
In addition, this report may not necessarily align exactly with contracting data or spending data presented on other platforms due to two key factors. The first being that this report contains non-contract costs such as personnel costs incurred by the City, identified under the Object Code Type “PS”. The second factor is that this report only lists liquidated expenditures and does not include encumbrances or pre-encumbrances which is used to show committed spending.
Finally, this dataset currently only includes Health and Hospital Corporation’s (H+H) expenditures stemming from 1) capital costs, and 2) drawdown funds from the City to H+H. H+H’s broader expense costs related to COVID-19 are captured outside of the City’s FMS and are not managed by the City. This additional data related to H+H’s spending will be included in a future update.
The City has provided financial assistance through the Department of Small Business Services (SBS) to businesses that have been severely impacted by COVID-19 or the downstream effects of the stay-at-home order. Loans of up to $75,000 were provided to a wide range of businesses operating in New York City under the City’s Small Business Continuity Loan Program. The program helped businesses pay their rent and utilities, retain their employees, and hire back employees that may have been laid off.
Information on small business grants issued by the City were collected after the September 30, 2020 reporting period and will be included in subsequent updates.
Funds provided to City through the U.S. Treasury’s Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) were allocated to help support these loans and grants.
This section of the COVID-19 Funding Tracker provides information about contracts to support the emergency procurement of goods and services necessary to address the COVID-19 crisis. Under the emergency procurement rules, agencies may fast-track these essential purchases, in particular to secure personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure the safety of frontline workers and maintain continuity of critical services.
In keeping with the City’s commitment to transparency, the information contained in this section has been publicly available through other sources from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. Here the COVID-19 Funding Tracker provides a centralized place to view COVID-19-related contract data.
The City is currently in the process of determining how much (if any) of each COVID-19 related contract can be funded by a non-City revenue source, and this process will continue as part of the disaster recovery. This tracker will be updated periodically to reflect these funding sources as the reimbursement process unfolds.
Note: The contracts data is provided by the Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS). Contracts do not represent the entirety of COVID-19 emergency spending. You may refer to the other sections of this tracker to gain a complete view into the City’s crisis spending.
Additionally, the City is in the process of incorporating data from New York City Health and Hospitals, which is presently not shown below, with the exception of contracts held by other agencies which they may utilize. The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) contracts are administered via the Small Business Services and its spending is reflected accordingly.
