Details:
The purpose of the Mini Grants program is to allow for localized responses to the COVID19 pandemic and economic recovery programs that are nimble and transformative. These grants should provide flexible sizing for programs or projects that might serve a single community and offer opportunities within each supervisorial district (“District”) that might not be feasible within the County’s existing ARP structure. (Priority Categories: Housing and Homelessness; Food Security; Child, Youth and Family; Mental Health; and Community Parks and Facilities. Strategic Plan Implementation: Water/Wastewater Infrastructure; Broadband; Climate Action; Economic Development; and Aging Needs).
Eligible Uses for ARP Funds:
- Support public health expenditures, by, for example, funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff
- Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the public sector
- Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic
- Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure sectors
- Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet
