State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Webinar 

On August 22 at 12:00 p.m. ET, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy will host a webinar with the US Department of the Treasury and other external partners to talk about the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.    

The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program, authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act, delivers $350 billion to state, territorial, local, and tribal governments across the country to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency. Eligible uses include replacement of lost public sector revenue, infrastructure investments, and affordable housing programs. The Treasury is focused on ensuring that all funds are obligated by the December 31, 2024, deadline.  

Investing in and expanding access to affordable homes is a key goal of the Treasury Department and the Biden-Harris Administration. Governments across the country are leveraging SLFRF award funds to preserve existing affordable housing and construct new projects. This webinar will be an opportunity to learn about how these resources can be used to achieve housing stability and affordability goals.  

During this webinar, the US Department of the Treasury will provide an overview of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. ROC USA and Next Step will share examples of how to use these funds for affordable housing programs. Finally, Guidehouse will provide additional educational information about the recovery funds and best practices.   

More information about how the funds can be used for affordable housing programs can be found online.
