CONCORD, CA — At its Sept. 27, 2022 meeting, the City Council identified the funding categories, dollar allocations to spending categories, and the process for allocating one-time, federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds within each spending category:

• $7 million: City Projects, Public Safety and Special Events

• $3 million: Support for the Unhoused
• $2 million: Support for Small Businesses

The funding for nonprofit organizations will be provided in amounts between $50,000 and $2 million. Applications were accepted between Sept. 30 and Oct. 28, 2022, and the awards are expected to be considered at the March 7, 2023, Council meeting — NOT at its Feb. 28 meeting, as was previously shared.
