American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Scorecards

CPEHN publishes American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Scorecards that analyze how five California counties spent their federal ARPA dollars. In the spring, CPEHN conducted research and analyses of publicly available information from 11 California counties to see how they have been spending their critical public relief dollars. A 51-question equity metric was developed to examine in-depth counties’ efforts in the use of funds, promoting racial equity, and engaging constituents, ensuring transparency, accessibility, and accountability between March 2021 and February 2022.
