On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan was signed. This legislation provides 1.9 trillion to address the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding economic crisis.

This emergency legislative package funds vaccinations, provides immediate direct relief to individuals, and supports struggling communities.

There are over 200 sections of relief outlined in the legislation, some notable funds and provisions include:

• Local Fiscal Recovery funds for each city, town, and state
