With the December 31, 2024 deadline for obligating American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) quickly approaching, local governments nationwide are assessing how best to allocate these critical resources. Passed in 2021, the ARPA SLFRF provided $65.1 billion in direct, flexible aid to counties across the United States. The deadline means local governments must not only allocate these funds but also have contractual commitments in place before the year ends. Here, we break down what this obligation entails, why it matters and how local governments can ensure they meet this significant milestone.

On Friday, Dec. 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET, join the National Association of Counties (NACo), the National League of Cities (NLC) and the U.S. Department of Treasury for another educational session to learn more about available resources and to share experiences obligating SLFRF funds across the country.

If you are a county, parish or borough, please direct questions to Eryn Hurley, Managing Director of Government Affairs, NACo at ehurley@naco.org.

If you are a city, town, village or NEU, please direct questions to Dante Moreno, Legislative Manager, NLC at moreno@nlc.org.
