American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
Accountability & Impacts
Accountability: Tracking & Monitoring Funding
There are specific federal, state, and local restrictions around ARPA grant funds for both community and city-managed projects.
In February 2022, the city began awarding $10.1M in round one of ARPA grant funding to qualifying community partner businesses and nonprofits. Those organizations must direct written program and financial reports at least quarterly to the City of Tucson.
The City of Tucson is required by the U.S. Department of Treasury to submit an annual report that provides accountability regarding use of local ARPA funding. In addition, Mayor and Council receive regular updates on both City-managed projects and community partner projects. Check this webpage for updates.
