GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This

legislation included a State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) of $350 billion for eligible

state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its

economic fallout and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery nationwide.

The American Rescue Plan Act requires that payments from the SLFRF be used to achieve the

following funding objectives:

1. Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the virus

and bring the pandemic under control.

2. Replace lost revenue for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to

strengthen support for vital public services and help retain jobs.

3. Support immediate economic stabilization for households and businesses.

4. Address systemic public health and economic challenges that have contributed to the

inequal impact of the pandemic.

1

As part of this law, Cuyahoga County is expected to receive approximately $240 million in direct

SLFRF dollars from the United States Department of the Treasury in two payment tranches. The

first payment tranche of $119,949,128.50 was received on June 15, 2021. As of July 31, 2021,

the close of the reporting period for this 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report (hereafter

Recovery Plan), Cuyahoga County has expended no SLFRF dollars. Planning on a spending

strategy continues. Cuyahoga County has been focused on community engagement efforts to

solicit input from constituents, community-based organizations, and communities in Cuyahoga

County. In addition, the United States Treasury is expected to issue its final rule on the SLFRF in

the coming months that will contain guidelines on how the funds may be spent. Cuyahoga County

eagerly awaits this document to ensure our spending strategy complies with all federal

regulations.

Community Engagement 

As soon as the County was allotted funds from the American Rescue Plan, the Cuyahoga County 

administration put plans in place to engage the community and receive feedback on how SLFRF 

funds could be spent. 

Community Engagement Feedback Portal

One of the first methods of community engagement Cuyahoga County established was the 

creation of an ARPA Funding Community Feedback webpage on the Cuyahoga County 

government website.

On this page, the public can find an overview of the purpose of ARPA, the six primary spending 

foci, various ways Cuyahoga County could use this funding, and facts about the amount of ARPA 

funding other government entities are receiving (i.e. Ohio, Cleveland, and local municipalities).

In addition, the webpage contains an online form for ARPA funding idea submissions. Residents 

and community members can fill out a brief form containing the following fields, all of which are 

optional:

• Name,

• Email,

• Funding Idea, and

• Cost.

This submission portal was promoted in a variety of ways. These include: 

1. Announcements and information provided at two Cuyahoga County and Cuyahoga 

County Board of Health Media Briefings, viewed by members of the meeting and 

Cuyahoga County residents. These briefings received ample coverage from the media

(see Appendix A);

2. Posts on official Cuyahoga County social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter

and LinkedIn;

3. Inclusion in the Cuyahoga County News Now Newsletter with a subscription base of 

50,000+ residents; and

4. Inclusion in Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish’s weekly employee 

communication.

The ARPA Funding submission portal on the Cuyahoga County website received 348 responses 

from the community as of August 17, 2021. Respondents submitted ideas related to a variety of 

topics. Some responses focused on one main idea, while others listed out multiple opportunities 

for funding. Key themes of responses included affordable housing, rent/utility assistance, job 

training and education, food security, support for small businesses, broadband, water and sewer 

infrastructure, and essential worker support. 

To better understand how public feedback aligned with SLFRF eligible uses, an analysis was 

completed to sort responses into SLFRF expenditure categories and to identify the target 

population for each request. 

As illustrated in Figure 1, each response was categorized by one or more SLFRF eligible use.

Many responses spanned various expenditure categories; these responses were assigned to 

multiple categories as appropriate. After all 348 responses were analysed, there was a total of 

450 items that fell in the six categories. The three largest categories of responses pertained to 

Premium Pay (37%), Revenue Replacement (20%), and Negative Economic Impacts (16%), 

respectively.

Based on staff analysis of public feedback, responses were also organized into one of six 

populations:

• Business,

• Disproportionately Impacted Communities,

• Families,

• Children,

• People at Risk of/Experiencing Homelessness, and

• Workforce.

Figure 2 below demonstrates that over half of responses (55%) aimed at Workforce. Thirteen 

percent focus on Disproportionately Impacted Communities, while 11 percent were directed at 

Children. The remaining groups made up less than 10 percent of responses.

Figure 2: Target of Request

The Cuyahoga County Community Engagement Portal remains open as community engagement 

efforts are ongoing. 

Regional Stakeholder Initiative

In addition to seeking public comment on the use of ARPA funds, Cuyahoga County Executive 

Armond Budish and members of the County leadership team have engaged with a wide variety 

of local partners, leaders, and organizations.

For example, on June 30, 2021 Cuyahoga County and its partners hosted a Regional Stakeholder 

Initiative meeting to gauge ideas and recommendations from community leaders regarding 

spending of ARPA dollars. 

Attendees of this meeting include representatives from the following organizations:

ARPA Funding Conversations

In addition to the Regional Stakeholder Initiative meeting, Cuyahoga County leadership has 

facilitated ARPA funding conversations with members of organizations and groups that interact 

with communities of color, conduct work and perform services in underserved communities, 

and/or work to enhance equity in communities as the core of their work. Some of these groups 

include the Cuyahoga County Citizens’ Advisory Council on Equity, the Cuyahoga County Division 

of Senior and Adult Services and the Division of Children and Family Services Board, Cuyahoga 

County Council members, and additional local business, non-profit and community leaders. 

The County also held a neighbourhood townhall event in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood to get 

feedback from residents of how the County can impactfully support their needs. Their feedback 

may also contribute to how funds are dispersed and to what programs.

Uses of Funds

As of the close of the 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report period on July 31, 2021, no State 

and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds have been expended by Cuyahoga County and planning 

remains underway for the County’s use of SLFRF. Future SLFRF Recovery Plan Reports will 

include the County’s plan for the intended use of funds. The County’s plan will be informed by 

the community engagement efforts detailed above and United States Treasury SLFRF final rule, 

as well as the County’s existing strategic planning efforts.

Recognizing the disproportionate impact of the pandemic-related recession, the County intends 

to use SLFRF dollars to support those most impacted by COVID-19.

Based on SLFRF eligible uses, the County will explore use of funds to:

1. Support the COVID-19 public health response,

2. Address negative economic impacts,

3. Invest in water, sewer, and broadband projects,

4. Provide premium pay for essential workers, 

5. Implement transformative and lasting initiatives, and

6. Replace public sector revenue loss.

Using SLFRF dollars this way will allow the County to maintain quality public services, mitigate 

the continuing public health and economic impacts of COVID-19, and create transformative and 

lasting change propelling Cuyahoga County towards a more vibrant and prosperous region where 

everyone thrives.

Promoting Equitable Outcomes 

As of the close of the Recovery Plan period on July 31, 2021, no State and Local Fiscal Recovery 

Funds have been expended by Cuyahoga County and planning remains underway for the 

County’s use of SLFRF. Once projects are selected and funding is awarded, the County will 

describe in future SLFRF Recovery Plan Performance Reports the overall strategy for promoting 

equitable outcomes based on the SLFRF Compliance and Reporting Guidance. This includes 

prioritizing and identifying projects that target economically disadvantaged communities as 

defined by:

1. United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Qualified Census Tracts,

2. Median income eligibility criteria for primary program or service beneficiaries falls below

60 percent of the median income for the associated jurisdiction, or

3. Program or service eligibility criteria result in over 25 percent of intended beneficiaries are 

below the federal poverty line. 

Where possible, disaggregated data will be reported to illustrate efforts and outcomes by race, 

ethnicity, gender, income, and other relevant factors.

Existing Racial Equity Initiatives

With racial disparities widening with regards to healthcare, education, quality of life, and economic 

mobility, Cuyahoga County Council and the County Executive acknowledge the needed focus 

and urgency to create systemic change across Cuyahoga County, starting with County 

government. On July 7, 2020 Cuyahoga County declared racism a public health crisis. In addition 

to making this important declaration, the County established a Citizens' Advisory Council on 

Equity (CACE) and activated the Cuyahoga County Equity Commission (CCEC) to guide and 

oversee the County’s equity efforts. 

CACE has the role of advising both the County Council and the County Executive on policies, 

practices, and procedures to defeat racism and to establish equity, inclusion, and access both 

internally and externally within the County. To more deeply address specific areas of disparity 

between Black and White people with respect to: health and healthcare, the criminal justice 

system, healthy food, safe and affordable housing, well-paying jobs, business ownership 

opportunities, quality transportation, educational opportunities, and safe places to be active, the 

work of CACE is structured into four categories (sub-committees):

1. Health and Healthcare,

2. Economic Opportunity,

3. Equitable Quality of Life, and

4. Criminal Justice.

CCEC has the role of overseeing the County’s internal equity efforts. In 2020, CCEC identified 

five pilot agencies within the County and one Board to begin the process of assessing each 

agency’s policies and programs, with respect to outcomes, using data through a lens of racial 

equity. Pilots are currently in process for the following agencies and one Board:

1. Department of Health and Human Services,

2. Department of Development, 

3. Department of Public Works, 

4. Department of Human Resources,

5. Department of Equity and Inclusion, and the
8

6. Cleveland – Cuyahoga County Workforce Development Board.

Initial reports on efforts to date by CACE and CCEC were released in January 2021. Guidance 

and oversight provided by CACE and CCEC will be instrumental in the development and 

implementation of the County’s strategy for promoting equitable outcomes. 

Department of Equity and Inclusion

In 2021, the County also established the Department of Equity and Inclusion to enhance equity 

in program and policy development within County government in coordination with CACE, CCEC, 

and various departments under to jurisdiction of the County Executive. Department efforts are 

focused on increasing participation of minority-and-women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) 

in County contracting and purchasing, tracking and reporting County performance related to 

MWBE contracting goals, working with the Department of Human Resources to build a culture of 

equity, and serving as an ombudsman for acceptance and evaluation of inquiries submitted by 

the public related to equity initiatives. 

The Department of Equity and Inclusion will play a key role in the collection and reporting of 

performance data related to MWBE contractors awarded SLFRF dollars. 

Promoting Racial Equity through CARES Act Funding

The County received $215 million in direct aid through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 

Security (CARES) Act on March 27, 2020. Dissemination of funds was facilitated through an 

equity lens, prioritizing and giving consideration to funding that would impact underserved or 

underinvested communities. Through this strategy:

• 39 percent of COVID tests performed from May 2020 to March 2021 were administered 

to Black people.

• 50 percent of businesses that received funding through the County’s Small Business 

Stabilization Fund were minority-owned businesses across a wide array of industries.

• 77 percent of restaurants that received funding through the County’s Restaurant 

Stabilization Fund were women and/or minority owned businesses.

• 31 percent of contracts for Emergency COVID-19 Building Modifications for County-owned 

facilities were awarded to minority-and-women-owned businesses.

Labor Practices 

As of the close of the Recovery Plan period on July 31, 2021, no State and Local Fiscal Recovery 

Funds have been expended by Cuyahoga County and planning remains underway for the 

County’s use of SLFRF. Once projects are selected and funding is awarded, the County will

describe in future SLFRF Recovery Plan Performance Reports all workforce practices related to 

any infrastructure projects being pursued.

Future SLFRF Recovery Plan Performance Reports will include details on how infrastructure 

projects pursued are using strong labor standards to promote the effective and efficient delivery 

of high-quality projects while also supporting economic recovery through strong employment 

opportunities for workers. Where applicable, the County will identify when labor practice 

agreements, community benefit agreements, prevailing wage requirements, and local hiring are 

used based on the SLFRF Compliance and Reporting Guidance. 
9

Use of Evidence 

As of the close of the Recovery Plan period on July 31, 2021, no State and Local Fiscal Recovery 

Funds have been expended by Cuyahoga County. Once projects are selected and funding is 

awarded, the County will identify where funds are being used for evidence-based interventions 

and/or if projects are being evaluated through rigorous program evaluations that are designed to 

build evidence in future SLFRF Recovery Plan Performance Reports submitted by the County.

Future SLFRF Recovery Plan Performance Reports will also include details on the County’s

overall approach to using evidence and evaluation. In addition to evaluation efforts implemented 

by specific County agencies, existing strategic planning efforts in the areas of housing, health and 

human services, and economic development may be used to guide overarching evaluation efforts.

Strategic Planning Efforts & Performance Management

County strategic planning efforts are detailed in the Cuyahoga County Strategic Plan, Cuyahoga 

County 5-Year Economic Development Plan, Cuyahoga County Health and Human Services 

Strategic Plan, and Cuyahoga County Housing Plan, with progress and performance reported 

publicly through Cuyahoga Performance. 

Current Use of Evidence Practices

Cuyahoga County Department of Development is well versed in use of evidence practices through

the County’s designation as an Entitlement Community in accordance with the U.S. Department 

of Housing and Urban Development and receipt of annual Formula Grants for Community 

Development Block Grant funds, HOME Investment Partnership Funds on behalf of the Cuyahoga 

HOME Consortia and Emergency Shelter Grant funds. To that end, the County’s overall approach 

to using evidence and evaluation will be guided by the HUD required Annual Action Plan, 

Consolidated Plan and CAPER as they relate directly to housing activities.

Cuyahoga County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has a long history of 

grounding service delivery in evidence-based practices and rigorous evaluation. The County is 

the first county in the United States to implement a Pay-for-Success contract and over threequarters of DHHS contracts include monthly or quarterly performance reporting used to evaluate 

vendors and redesign services. The Office of Early Childhood and Case Western Reserve 

University have developed a longitudinal data set spanning decades that serves as the basis for 

controlled studies to identify high-quality childcare and Pre-K sites in county and municipally 

funded Pre-K programs. The Office of Homeless Service manages a continuum of care that relies 

on many evidence-based and other best practice services, including a Permanent Supportive 

Housing model, Rapid-Re-Housing, and a nationally-recognized Diversion/Mediation 

program. The Division of Child & Family Services (DCFS) is committed to providing evidencebased programming options to children and families. The Division is invested in training and staff 

development and currently houses a Multi-systemic Therapy (MST) unit and an Early Childhood 

unit providing Attachment Biobehavioral Catchup (ABC), both implemented with full fidelity.
