$76.6 Million in ARPA Funding
The City of San Antonio continues to manage an ongoing response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. ARPA funding was allocated to assist the City's response. Most of the funding is from the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). SLFRF was approved by the City Council in 2021. In 2022, the City received additional ARPA funding to assist with the pandemic response. These additional ARPA funds were allocated for Health Disparities grants.
These funds support the City’s response to COVID-19 by providing services to the community.
Communities with pre-existing health disparities face public health and economic challenges. The ARPA Health Disparities grant funds provide support to address these concerns. The San Antonio Metro Health District (SAMHD) manages these funds.
