The Las Vegas City Council today voted to award $121,070,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding. The funds were divided into four categories, with 20% going toward affordable housing projects, 20% to businesses, 20% to pandemic response and 40% to nonprofit organizations.
The American Rescue Plan was instituted by the federal government to change the course of the pandemic and deliver immediate and direct relief to families and workers impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The city received these funds in 2021 and the money must be spent by Dec. 31, 2024. If the funds are not used, then those organizations not receiving funding this time will have the opportunity to reapply.
