ARPA Reporting Center
Data Dashboard
The 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provided $641 million to the City of Baltimore through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency and its negative economic impacts. The Mayor's Office of Recovery Programs was established to administer all aspects of ARPA funding and regularly reporting to the US Department of Treasury.
The Mayor's Office of Recovery Programs created this dashboard to share details regarding proposals submitted for funding, funded projects, and project performance. Please note, data contained in this dashboard differs from that reported to the Department of Treasury, as more technical and nuanced data are required for federal reporting. This dashboard includes information on funding proposals and funding allocations categorized by topical area to make it more user-friendly to the public. Data is updated regularly and is subject to change. If you have any questions regarding this information please email ARPdata@baltimorecity.gov.
Baltimore City established an online application process for American Rescue Plan Act funding. ARPA funding will be used to support approved proposals implemented by City and quasi-government agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations focused on addressing the health and negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Proposal Data By Category
For additional context and analysis on proposal data, use the drop-down menu to choose a category.
Proposals by Eligibility
Submitted proposals are first reviewed for ARPA eligibility according to the US Treasury. Proposals marked 'Other' are those that require further information or clarification.
Note: The US Treasury issued its Final Rule for governing the administration and implementation of ARPA funding on January 6, 2022. The Recovery Office is in the process of reevaluating all proposals submitted prior to this date to ensure compliance with the updated rule. Data includes eligibility determinations at the time proposals were first evaluated, and therefore are subject to change upon reevaluation.
Proposals by Entity
Proposals can be submitted by Balitmore City agencies, quasi-government agencies, as well as nonprofits that have an operating office within the city limits and provide programs and services to Baltimore City residents.
Proposal Submission Timeline
Timeline includes data on proposals submitted since the application portal opened to city agencies on August 23rd, 2021. The application portal opened on October 1st, 2021 for nonprofits, and closed on December 31st. City agencies may submit proposals until March 31st, 2021.
Note: Resubmissions are not counted. Only the first submission of a proposal is presented in the chart.
Proposals by Topic
All eligible project proposals are categorized by the topics they address. Projects can include multiple topic areas; this data includes the primary proposal topic only. More information about these topics can be found in the ARPA Topical Category Crosswalk.
Proposals by Mayoral Pillar
Five core pillars guide Mayor Scott's administration. Project proposals are aligned to these pillars to support the mission and goals of the Administration while also adhering to the permissible uses of ARPA funding. For more information about the Mayoral pillars, see the Mayor's Action Plan.
ARPA funding commitments are publicized as individual investments to City agencies, quasi-government agencies, and nonprofits. Details on investments can be reviewed in the funding announcements. Commitment figures presented below are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars.
Note: the spending amounts reported in this dashboard are preliminary. Changes to account numbers, accruals, delayed data entry, or other accounting related transactions impact the accuracy of spending data month-to-month. At the end of the fiscal year, the City of Baltimore follows year-end closing procedures to finalize records of all financial activity. Spending data should not be considered final until that time.

Project Performance
The Mayor's Office or Recovery Programs tracks the progress and success of ARPA-funded project through regularly reported proformance measures. The information below includes some of the primary measures being tracked. Please check back for additional and updated performance data as projects advance.
In addition to performance measures collected from ARPA-funded organizations, Baltimore City has partnered with University of Baltimore to develop 'Impact Indictors' that have been designed to measure the impact of ARPA funding throughout the City. These efforts will focus on the impact of ARPA funding across the city, but particularly in neighborhoods and populations that have been historically overlooked.
