PolicyLink recently released “10 Priorities for Advancing Racial Equity Through the American Rescue Plan: A guide for city and county policymakers,” suggesting municipal strategies for deploying ARP funds equitably, efficiently, and strategically.
Developed in partnership with community leaders, chief equity officers, policymakers, economic development practitioners, research and policy organizations, and philanthropic partners, PolicyLink explains the guide “lays out a framework for equitable decision-making around ARP spending and investments with prompts that local leaders can use to not only ask hard questions around racial equity, but also seek to address them.”
