American Rescue Plan

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) into law. The legislation represents a historic response to the devastating impact of the global COVID-19 crisis. The ARP builds upon certain provisions in the CARES Act and the December Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CCRRSA), and often does so on a larger scale. The ARP consists of over 84 unique programs that will receive ARP money, distributed across 19 federal agencies.

 

In doing so, the law strives not only to limit the damage from 2020, but to equip cities and towns with tools necessary to start building a stronger and more equitable future over the next decade. In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act set the tone for the recovery from the Great Recession. Today, city and metro leaders must use Rescue Plan funds to shape their communities for years to come. 

 

We have produced a series of resources to help city and metro leaders understand and maximize the impact of the ARP.

American Jobs Plan and Endless Frontiers Act

The American Jobs Plan (AJP) and the Endless Frontiers Act, if passed by congress will represent a transformative and wealth-building intervention across cities if harnessed correctly. This section will be updated as the federal landscape changes.

Private-led Models of Inclusive Recovery 

Maximizing the impact of the recovery will require bringing private actors and private capital to bear on the problem of inclusive economic growth. This recovery must be a market-making intervention and the private sector has a chance to make good on its 2020 commitments of racial justice. We are building playbooks and new models to help them do just this.
