American Rescue Plan

Overview

Minneapolis gets a total of $271 million through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund.

This is a section of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The money comes in two installments.
- The first installment came in May 2021.
- The second installment comes in May 2022.
We can use it to cover costs incurred between March 3, 2021, and December 24, 2024.

We plan to use this money to focus on:

Housing/homelessness
Economic rebuilding
Public Safety
Climate
Public Health

Phase 1

The first round of revenue replacement and program spending was approved in July 2021. The total amount is $102 million.

Interim appropriations

An additional $11.5 million was appropriated this fall to several time-sensitive projects. The City Council also passed a budget amendment approving $3.75 million dollars for violence prevention. The 2022 City budget includes $47 million to make up for lost revenue, and the Mayor has recommended $72 million to make up for lost revenue in 2023-2024.

Phase 2

The City approved new spending of approximately $43 million in May 2022. City staff and elected officials used survey data and public input during the decision-making process.

All of the money the City received has now been approved to spend. See the Related Information section for links to more detailed ARPA project information.
