CROWN Act Toolkit
This toolkit is for lawmakers, policy experts, advocates, and grassroots activists (including students and parents) interested in helping their state and localities make the CROWN Act law.
State ARPA/SLFRF Spending Workbooks
These workbooks track spending of the $350 billion in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) awarded to state, local, territorial, and tribal governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic downturn. The U.S. Treasury has mandated that these funds be obligated for use by December 31st 2024. With this deadline approaching, we hope this analysis helps ensure effective use of these funds in your communities.
These workbooks analyze the Treasury’s Q1 and Q2 reporting data, ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 respectively. Please note that the Q2 release does not include Annual Project and Expenditure reports for smaller SLFRF recipients (metro cities and counties with populations under 250,000 and allocations under $10 million, Tribal governments with allocations under $30 million, and non-entitlement local governments). For data on these smaller localities, refer to the Q1 workbooks.
