WHEREAS, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), enacted by the U.S. Congress, provides for payments to local governments navigating the impact of COVID-19 outbreak from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds; and,
WHEREAS, ARPA requires that these federal funds may be used only to cover expenses to respond to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers of the State, territory, or Tribal/local government that are performing such essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers who perform essential work; for the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of such State, territory, or Tribal/local government due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year of the State, territory, or Tribal government prior to the emergency; and,
WHEREAS, Jackson County’s total allocation of ARPA funds is expected to be $136,551,645.00, the first half of which was received in 2021, and the second half is expected later in 2022; and,

WHEREAS, Hope-Faith Ministries of Kansas City (Jackson County), MO, has applied for $50,000.00 in County ARPA funds to assist it in responding to the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 in the provision of services; and,
