The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provides $350 billion in aid to state, local, Tribal, and
territorial governments to be used for economic relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for
“assistance to households, small businesses, and non-profits, or aid to impacted industries such
as tourism, travel and hospitality.”
