GENERAL OVERVIEW 

Executive Summary 

The County of Burlington received its State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) allocation 

on June 24th, 2021. We are in the beginning stages of plan development, exploring potential uses 

and evaluating proposals from key departments. As of the end of the 2021 reporting period, July 

31st, 2021, the County has not spent or obligated any SLFRF funds. 

The County intends to use funding to replace public sector revenue loss and ensure continuity of 

government services, as well as to support public health response and address negative 

economic impacts. 

Under the American Rescue Plan, the County also received funding for Emergency Rental 

Assistance (ERA) which will assist in addressing the negative economic impacts within the 

community. 

Uses of Funds 

As mentioned in the above Executive Summary, the County has not obligated any SLFRF funding 

as of July 31, 2021. The County plans to first use the funding to replace public sector revenue 

losses and ensure continuity of vital government services by filling in budget shortfalls. We are 

in the process of identifying those shortfalls and calculating our revenue losses. 

The County of Burlington was awarded federal recovery funds for Emergency Rental Assistance 

under the American Rescue Plan, and has partnered with the New Jersey Department of 

Community Affairs to offer rental assistance to at risk individuals within our jurisdiction. As of 

June 30, 2021 Burlington County was leading the State of New Jersey for funds expended and 

number of households assisted, per the June ERA Compliance Report.

Promoting equitable outcomes 

The County plans to design programs to promote equitable outcomes within our jurisdiction. We 

are in the process of identifying adversely affected groups and developing bench mark 

measurements to track our achievements during future performance periods. 

Community Engagement 

The County plans to create an outreach campaign to both communicate plans for the use of funds 

and to solicit input from constituents, community-based organizations and other stakeholders. 

The campaign will include press releases and online updates posted on designated websites and 

social media. We are now in the process of designing a new webpage on the County platform 

dedicated to SLFRF transparency. 

 

Labor Practices 

The County has not committed funding to any infrastructure projects as of July 31, 2021. Once 

projects are identified, the County will review applicable labor standards to promote effective and 

efficient delivery of high-qualify infrastructure projects that also support the economic recovery. 

Prevailing wage requirements will be utilized for any work done on behalf of the County. 

Use of Evidence 

The County has not committed funding to projects, and therefore has not determined whether 

SLFRF funds will be used for evidence-based interventions or program evaluation. The County 

intends to use relevant sources to assess the level of evidence for any interventions and will 

identify evidence-based models that could be applied.
