Applying nonprofit organizations must be registered as 501(c)(3) entities and in the federal System for Award Management (SAM). Eligible services must principally benefit low- to moderate-income persons in the municipal boundaries of Salt Lake City. Each funded agency must ensure its program falls within the appropriate activity and expenditure categories:

Activity Categories: Salt Lake City Council has identified 6 areas of focus for Community Recovery spending. Any funding received through CAN must fall within one of these 6 categories. These categories are:

• • Retraining Displaced Workers
  • Legal Services for Eviction Assistance
  • Expanded Educational Opportunities
  • Resources to Mitigate the Digital Divide
  • Access to Healthcare for Underserved Populations
  • Mental Health Assistance

Additional guidance may be received through the Treasury Expenditure Category requirements.

Expenditure Categories: Each Activity Category includes one or more Expenditure Categories as an additional layer of classification for the eligible uses of funds. These categories are required by Treasury in our reporting to ensure funds are being spent appropriately. Any ARPA funding received through CAN must fall within one of these categories. Agencies may not apply multiple Expenditure Categories for one program. Expenditure Categories may include direct staffing costs, direct administrative costs (up to 20%), or indirect costs associated with services rendered (i.e., case manager staffing costs for the “Mental Health Services” Expenditure Category). Several of these Expenditure Categories may be more general than their parent Activity Categories. Available Expenditure Categories and their eligibility details are listed below under each Activity Category.

In addition to intial program classification, all awarded organizations will be required to provide receipts for costs incurred, report on program outcomes, submit necessary reimbursement requests, and submit to program monitoring. Applying agencies should be familiar with the requirements of ARPA subrecipients as outlined in the SLFRF Compliance & Reporting Guidance document (see below).

Only projects that meet the US Department of Treasury criteria for SLFRF funding and directly align with the goals and priorities established by the Community Recovery Assistance Grants Program will be awarded funding.
