ARP Overview

Overview

In March 2021, Congress passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARP), a relief package administered by the U.S. Treasury (Treasury) and designed to accelerate the country's recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the ARP State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ARP-SLFRF) New York City will receive more than $5.88 billion of direct aid to support its recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 over the course of the program, from 2021-2025.

Over 30 New York City agencies have used ARP-SLFRF funds for projects that are helping the city emerge from the pandemic with new economic opportunities for all, including job training, cleaner and safer streets, and the delivery of a broad spectrum of services that support individuals and families. The New York City Mayor's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is managing and tracking the city's portfolio of ARP funds. This COVID-19 Funding Tracker provides a window into how the city is using these funds to benefit all New Yorkers.

To maintain consistency with Treasury’s reporting requirements, current fiscal year spending on this site is based on the data provided at mandated reporting dates. As a result, some projects (particularly those with personnel services spending) may not reflect actual spending until the end of the fiscal year when the information will be reported to Treasury and included in this tracker.

The city's use of ARP-SLFRF funding for the past three years is also detailed in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Annual Recovery Plans, which are submitted annually per Treasury regulations. Note that annual allocation amounts may have shifted after the publication of these reports.
