American Rescue Plan Community Survey

Background:

In March 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. This fund helps local governments nationwide with COVID-19 pandemic recovery assistance. Oceanside will receive $32.3 million in federal funding as part of the ARPA. The funds must be used by December 31, 2024.

The US Treasury released rules on the use of these funds. Use of Funds Fact Sheet
