For more than a year, Maricopa County has been a trustworthy steward of federal COVID-19 recovery funds, allocating millions of dollars to keep people in their homes, to connect people to jobs, to keep small businesses running, and to track and mitigate the spread of the virus. Many of the efforts that began in 2020 through the CARES Act, grants, and other funding sources continue today.
This webpage will provide up-to-date information about how recovery funds are being spent in the nation's fastest-growing county. The dashboard shows total dollars allocated and spent to date, while the sections below focus on spending as it relates to key needs of our community (affordable housing, workforce support, etc.).
