American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA)
In 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), an expansive $1.9 trillion package to help cope with the economic and public health fallout of the pandemic and build a bridge to a strong and more equitable economic recovery. The plan includes direct financial assistance to families and individuals, infrastructure investments, and pandemic response. As part of this expansive effort, the plan provides more than $350 billion in direct relief to state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments in their pandemic rescue and recovery efforts through a substantial infusion of resources.
