Focus Areas
Funding is intended to assist small businesses, households, and industries hard-hit by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Three priorities into which ARP projects will categorized:
- Supporting Recovery
- Reconnecting Community
- Building Resiliency
The qualitative measures are designed to give the review committees latitude to determine project priorities based on a project narrative rather than a set of defined criteria as required under the CARES Act. There are three qualitative criteria for a total of 50 points:
- Project evaluation – applicant is qualified, meets city goals, included in adopted plan (20 points)
- Demonstration of need (20 points)
Quantitative measures will help applicants understand the need for a clear, well-defined budget, community partnerships, and matching funds. This also gives City staff a way to clearly articulate project rankings, especially for projects that may not receive funding. There are three quantitative criteria for a total of 50 points:
- Funding/Budget (30 points)
- Community support and partnerships (15 points)
- Financial support (15 points)
Eligibility Criteria
- City of Monroe ARP awards will be distributed on a reimbursement basis. The City of Monroe will only reimburse those costs actually incurred and only after the expense is incurred, paid for, and a signed Request for Reimbursement form (or other form acceptable to the City) has been submitted to the City, including copies of the invoices and payment documents. Purchases/expenses made prior to contract execution are not eligible.
- Business/nonprofit applicants, or an identified partner, must have a Monroe Business License or a documented 501(c)3 or (c)6 designation. Such status is required to be eligible for receipt of ARP funds. My organization will provide proof of or obtain a City of Monroe business license.
- Applicants may apply for multiple projects, but only one application per project.
