GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

COVID-19 has had a profound negative impact on the City of Detroit (City). The American 

Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery 

Funds (SLFRF) program, presents the City with an opportunity to mitigate the impacts of the 

COVID-19 pandemic through transformational investments in Detroit’s economic, educational, 

health and safety landscapes. 

Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, the City was still recovering from a dire financial condition 

resulting in the City’s filing for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy in 2013. During fiscal year 2013, the 

Governor of the State of Michigan declared a state of financial emergency in the City of Detroit 

and installed an Emergency Manager 

(EM), who oversaw the City’s financial 

operations over the next 18 months. In July 

2013, the City of Detroit filed a voluntary 

petition under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy 

Code. For the next 17 months, the City 

proceeded through the bankruptcy process 

which culminated in the approval of the 

City’s Plan of Adjustment (POA) on 

December 10, 2014. 

Since the end of 2014 until the onset of the 

pandemic, the City worked hard to catalyze

a resurgence, with increasing private 

investment citywide, increasing residential 

employment, and declining poverty. 

Between 2012 and 2019, the City’s poverty 

rate fell from 42.3% to 30.6%, one of the 

sharpest declines of any big city in the 

country. Over that same time period, nearly 

30,000 additional Detroiters found work, 

and the labor force participation rate 

increased by 7 percentage points. 

The pandemic curtailed the City’s forward 

momentum, sharply undermining key 

social and economic gains. In April and 

May of 2020, with much of the economy 

What are the main stressors that African 

American communities are experiencing as they 

confront the coronavirus pandemic compared 

to other ethnic populations?

“Black communities are being faced with 

stressors that impact them on a structural 

(limited resources), interpersonal (disruption of 

shared resources), and individual (compromised 

coping) level. Wealth disparities between black 

communities and others are stark, such that less 

disposable income and generational wealth 

diminish the amount of resources that can be 

effective at combating COVID. For example, 

one’s ability to stay home requires a certain job 

or a specified amount of liquid income to stay 

out of harm’s way, yet many black citizens have 

jobs that require them to interact with others in 

various industries, putting them at increased risk 

of exposure.

Additionally, the primary strengths that black 

communities have, such as communalism, role 

sharing, and familialism, are hampered by efforts 

to distance and keep the most vulnerable safe. 

All of these stressors interplay with the 

chronosystem, meaning that they can be shortor long-term issues, but certainly the longer we 

need to remain isolated, the more each of these 

problems will compound.”

- Riana Anderson, Assistant Professor at the 

University of Michigan's School of Public 

Health

forced to shut down to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the unemployment rate for households 

hovered at 40%, and the unemployment rate remained above 20% for the remainder of 2020. 

Recent estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show this rate fell to under 10% during the 

summer of 2021, though local estimates suggest the joblessness rate is still well above this 

mark; as employment and labor force totals continue to lag behind pre-pandemic and prior year 

levels. Job losses in Detroit, as in much of the rest of the country, have fallen most heavily on 

those in the leisure and hospitality sector. The City’s leisure and hospitality sector was largely 

shuttered during the pandemic and has been slow to recover. As these jobs are 

disproportionately filled by those with less formal education, as well as Black and Hispanic 

residents, the shape of job loss and recovery presents significant equity considerations. 

The negative impacts of the pandemic went well beyond job loss. Thousands of residents have 

fallen behind on rent and mortgage payments and are facing potential eviction. Finding 

affordable rental properties is an increasing problem. In metro Detroit, the rent price for a new 

move-in at market rate was $1,108 per month as of June, up 7.4% from a year before, 

according to the Detroit Free Press’s report citing of RealPage, a property management 

software company.1

Virtual learning caused thousands of students to struggle during the pandemic. The cost of highspeed internet and computers needed for virtual learning present a financial strain on lowincome families. Low-income families are less likely to have jobs that allow for at-home work to 

provide oversight for school-age children at home. In addition, numerous studies have shown 

that in-person learning results in more teacher-to-student time and being at school with a 

teacher helps students to understand the material better. 

Neighborhoods across the City temporarily lost a sense of stability and vitality. Most tragically, 

2,319 Detroiters have died from COVID 19 as of August 1, 2021.2 See Detroit Health 

Department COVID Data in Figure 1.

Detroit’s residents experienced impacts of austerity associated by a municipal bankruptcy, 

followed by a long and hard-fought recovery, only to have that recovery stalled by an 

extraordinary global pandemic. Even before bankruptcy, dating back generations, Detroit’s Black 

residents, who make up nearly 80% of the City’s population, have experienced disproportionate, 

adverse economic impacts as a result of racially discriminatory housing policies, limited 

employment opportunities, and under-resourced schools. ARPA investments represent an 

opportunity not only to address the direct harm caused by the pandemic, but also to mitigate 

systemic health and economic inequalities as well as educational disparities caused by decades 

of structural racism.

With SLFRF (ARPA funds), the City is embarking on transformational initiatives and knew it 

needed Detroiters’ help to figure out what those initiatives would be. The City held 65 public 

meetings to discuss funding priorities, garnering hundreds of comments from residents and 

collecting feedback on more than 700 online surveys. In all, the community engagement 

process represented one of the largest efforts the City has ever undertaken. 

From the priorities identified by the community, the City Council passed a resolution dividing the 

use of the SLFRF (ARPA funds) into 15 appropriations dedicated to an inclusive, transformative 

recovery from COVID-19 that address the disproportionate impacts of inequity. The future 

projects funding through these 15 appropriations plan to tackle entrenched issues around 

economic opportunity and quality of life, dedicating resources to combating intergenerational 

poverty, investing in neighborhoods and recreational services, strengthening the City’s 

workforce and small businesses, and improving public health and safety. These 15 

appropriations, funded by ARPA, will help build a healthier, more stable Detroit through the 

pandemic recovery.

Uses of Funds

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the City and its residents more negatively than most 

communities in the United States, and the health and economic effects are far from over. Even 

as the City experienced revenue losses, it continued to fund expenditures to assist the 

communities and residents. This impacted the budget and ability to implement initiatives that 

were required in the City’s Chapter 9 Bankruptcy plan (Restructuring and Reinvestment 

Initiatives per the Plan of Adjustment). These important initiatives include maintaining City 

services, returning 1,000 City employees to full-time status and restoring City employment 

levels, investing in IT infrastructure, and funding programs to reduce blight in the City. The 

SLFRF (ARPA funds) will be used to make up for this shortfall and many more projects 

throughout the City.

On June 29, 2021 the City Council approved the ARPA Fiscal Recovery Funds Budget 

Amendment Resolution, which divided the ARPA funds into 15 appropriations in alignment with 

one of the City’s largest community engagement efforts ever conducted. The purpose of this 

effort was to ensure the federal ARPA funds would be spent in a way that the communities and 

residents believe would maximize equitable outcomes and bolster the economic recovery of the 

City. 

Table 1 reflects the 15 City appropriations along with descriptions, amounts, and the associated 

ARPA Expenditure Category (EC) anticipated as applicable to the appropriation. Each 

appropriation will have one or more projects which fall under its umbrella of funding. 

Appropriations may also be in part associated with the Revenue Replacement ARPA 

Expenditure Category (EC-6).

Total Appropriations $826,675,290

As of the end of the July 31, 2021 reporting period, the City had not expended any funds, with 

the exception of nominal expenditures for administration reflected in the section entitled Table of 

Expenses by Expenditure Category. Projects are being proposed and evaluated to ensure that 

they comply with SLFRF (ARPA fund) requirements and best serve the needs of the City, 

neighborhood communities, and residents per the above-listed appropriations.

As part of its due diligence efforts, the City’s Office of Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) is 

evaluating project eligibility in line with the Department of Treasury’s guiding principles for 

developing effective compliance regimes including strict adherence to the four statutory uses of 

the City’s SLFRF (ARPA fund) award. The City is applying a consistent, data driven 

methodology to test and assure adherence to eligible uses of funds including the evaluation of 

disproportionate impacts of the pandemic on the City of Detroit, as one of the hardest hit 

communities by COVID-19. 

Strategies to Maximize Project Impact

Maximizing the equitable outcomes of the projects has been a priority for the City since before 

the SLFRF (ARPA funds) were received. As detailed in the Community Engagement section of 

this Recovery Plan, the City engaged residents and the various neighborhood communities to 

determine where the funds were most needed to provide equitable outcomes. However, the City 

understands that follow-through will need to be conducted on the project level to promote and 

track equitable outcomes effectively. Figure 2 lays out the Project Success Pathways to be used

as part of a structured project development process, which includes transformational strategies 

for change in addition to the more customary monitoring of federal awards focused on risk 

mitigation.
Detroit 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 8

Figure 2: Project Success Pathways

The Project Success Pathways provide a high-level snapshot of the consistent, robust support 

and oversight the City will provide to facilitate project definition, critical path milestones and 

schedule, outcomes-based performance measurement, and risk-based financial management 

across the project portfolio. 

The City has developed project concepts with the community captured in the 15 appropriations,

and project planning is currently under way. During the life of the project, budgetary and projectspecific measurements will be conducted to gauge equitable outcomes and proper spending of 

SLFRF (ARPA funds). At the end of the project, a performance review and summary report will 

be created as a capstone. From start to finish, each project utilizing SLFRF (ARPA funds) will be 

closely monitored on a variety of measures including equitable outcomes.

Finally, the City intends to maximize project impact through the use of additional recovery funds 

including Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA). The State of Michigan has approved $50 million 

in ERA funds for the City. The City has established both a helpline and online access to assist 

Detroit citizens in applying for assistance.

Promoting Equitable Outcomes 

Mayor Duggan’s Equity Council leads development of equity enhancing policies and programs 

for the City. They are committed to successful data-driven initiatives that drive toward 

demographic parity, are rooted in systemic change, remove barriers in city government, and 

catalyze change in institutions outside of city government for Detroiters. The Equity Council 

promotes equity in four policy areas: poverty reduction, wealth building, expanded economic 
Detroit 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 9

opportunity, and quality of life improvements. These tenets informed the initial planning and 

engagement of Detroit’s discretionary funding. 

Detroit utilizes Executive Order 13985, defining equity as “the consistent and systematic fair, 

just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved 

communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and 

Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; 

members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) 

persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise 

adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality” (Sec. 2 (a))3. The City of Detroit is 

composed of approximately 90% persons of color, 35% of the population lives below the poverty 

line, and the median household income persistently falls far below median household income of 

Wayne County as a whole (a disparity of $17,000 as of 2019). These factors, combined with the 

impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Detroit compared to the state of Michigan as a whole, 

make promoting equity a priority for the City. The City will consider and measure equity at the 

various stages of the program, including:

• Goals: The City intends to use the SLFRF (ARPA funds) to serve and benefit systemically 

excluded and vulnerable populations, including those facing poverty, homelessness, 

unemployment, disability, and gun violence. 

• Awareness: The City has gone to great lengths to incorporate resident input in the use of 

SLFRF (ARPA funds), as detailed in the Community Engagement section of this Recovery 

Plan. This has helped to serve as an initial primer for awareness of future projects. While 

no projects have been approved during this reporting period, the City intends to make 

project-level services widely known to the residents and, specifically, the intended 

beneficiaries.

• Access and Distribution: No projects have been approved during this report period. 

However, the City intends to create equitable access to project-level benefits and reduce 

and/or prevent administrative requirements that result in disparities.

• Outcomes: The City’s intended outcomes for ARPA projects are quality-of-life 

improvements, economic opportunities, community health and safety, a collective 

commitment to countering intergenerational poverty, and more. As projects are approved 

and funded, future Recovery Plans will detail project performance outcomes.

The City has not approved any projects for the use of SLFRF (ARPA funds) as of the date of this 

reporting period. As projects are approved, future Recovery Plans will include detail on efforts to 

promote equitable outcomes. However, the proposed investments were all designed with equity 

at the forefront.

Through the Federal Government, January 20, 2021
Detroit 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 10

As noted previously, nearly 80% of Detroit residents are Black, and many have suffered from 

decades of racially discriminatory housing policies and labor markets, under-investment in 

education and public transit, and under-resourced City budgets. Projects in the planning phase 

are targeted to economically-disadvantaged communities, as defined by HUD’s Qualified 

Census Tracts (QCTs) as shown in Figure 3. The map shows the City of Detroit; however, it

does not delineate two independent cities, Hamtramck and Highland Park, which are within 

QCTs and surrounded by the City of Detroit’s footprint.

Community Engagement 

Before receiving the SLFRF (ARPA funds), the City was eager to engage the residents and 

various communities on where the funds were most needed to provide for recovery from the 

pandemic and advance equitable outcomes. In May 2021, Mayor Mike Duggan held a virtual 

citywide presentation to discuss the process and to obtain feedback for potential uses of the 

4 https://www.huduser.gov/PORTAL/sadda/sadda_qct.html
Detroit 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 11

SLFRF (ARPA funds). It was initially planned that there would be 25 public meetings to engage 

the residents and communities. However, due to the overwhelming interest, the City instead 

held 65 public meetings to discuss the 411 community meeting responses and 739 online 

survey responses. These meetings were convened to ensure that all voices were heard whether 

verbally at public meetings or online through the City’s publicly available online survey. The 

residents and communities identified the following funding priorities shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Detroiters’ Prioritization for ARPA Funding5

Upon conclusion of these meetings, it was decided that the SLFRF (ARPA funds) would be used 

for 15 major appropriations, as detailed in the Uses of Funds section of this Recovery Plan. The 

City will divide each of the appropriations into projects that will focus on equitable outcomes 

across a broad spectrum of populations, prioritizing those facing poverty, homelessness, 

unemployment, disability, gun violence, and other communities of need. While the details of 

these projects are still being formed, the City has created a rigorous review process to facilitate

that projects are created in a manner that selects the best-equipped community organizations to 

provide equitable outcomes for the groups in need.

Labor Practices 

The City has not approved any projects for the use of SLFRF (ARPA) funds as of the date of 

this reporting period. However, as projects are approved, future Recovery Plans will include 

detail on efforts to use strong labor practices, including prevailing wage requirements, to 

promote effective and efficient delivery of high-quality infrastructure projects while also 

supporting the economic recovery through strong employment opportunities for workers.

As part of the City’s commitment to use SLFRF (ARPA funds) to promote durable benefits for 

Detroiters, the City is planning to redirect staff resources and hire new staff to manage and 

implement projects effectively. As part of this approach, the City is incorporating capacity5 ARPA Survey Results | City of Detroit: https://detroitmi.gov/bn/node/43131, July 2021
Detroit 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 12

building across all aspects of its operations involved in the delivery of the program including the 

OCFO, human resources, procurement and contracting, civil rights, equity and opportunity, and

approximately 40 other City departments. This will catalyze opportunities for LEAN 

improvements. It will also help the City continue to diversify its workforce and scaffold career 

opportunities for employee development and promotion, in keeping with the City’s equity 

agenda.

Use of Evidence 

The City has not approved any projects for the use of SLFRF (ARPA funds) as of the end of the 

July 31, 2021 reporting period. However, as projects are approved, future Recovery Plans will 

identify and detail those which use evidence-based interventions and/or program evaluations to 

build evidence. The City is developing an extensive process for tracking inputs, outputs, and 

outcomes not only at the individual project level but also at a meta-level.

For social sector subrecipient organizations that lack experience with outcomes-based 

evaluation, the City intends to provide training that will serve as a force multiplier, strengthening 

capacity-building within Detroit’s social sector.

Project Inventory

The City has allocated the SLFRF (ARPA funds) into the 15 appropriations presented in Table 1. 

However, as of the close of the July 31, 2021 reporting period, the City has not approved any 

projects. Since its SLFRF award, the City has given its unwavering attention to building rigorous 

processes and procedures for vetting, managing, monitoring, and supporting project 

development. This focus balances the need to advance ambitious but achievable performance 

outcomes and concurrently assure compliance with law, regulation, and policy and effective 

grants management. The City looks forward to reporting on project development and launch in 

its next Recovery Plan Performance Report.
