Putting ARP to work for Minnesotans

Thanks to the federal American Rescue Plan, Minnesota state and local governments will receive about $8.5 billion in temporary resources to support workers, families, and communities. This funding is critical to the state’s ongoing fight against COVID-19 and to recover from perhaps the most unequal recession in modern history, which has disproportionately harmed low-wage workers and exacerbated racial disparities in opportunity.
