Project

The City of Kansas City, Missouri has received and distributed roughly half of the $195M in local federal relief from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The Mayor’s Office will partner with a FUSE Executive Fellow for one year to steward the distribution of KC’s second tranche of ARPA funds, launching and scaling programs that will accelerate recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and reduce disparities in outcomes for the Black KC residents hit hardest by the pandemic.
