More than $50 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funding came to North Carolina in 2020 to support the urgent needs of North Carolinians. The map below illustrates roughly half of those funds.

Congress passed five bills in 2020 to provide relief funding to North Carolina's people, businesses, state and local governments, health care providers, schools, and communities. During a time of tremendous uncertainty and intensity, these funds were used to respond to the immediate impacts of the pandemic: helping hospitals acquire ventilators and PPE, supporting schools and businesses adapt to social distancing, distance learning, and teleworking, and providing rent, food, and unemployment relief to residents across the state.

NC is receiving nearly $30 billion in additional federal funds through the March 2021 American Rescue Plan (ARP). These funds are not yet included in the map. NCPRO hopes ARP recipients can use this map to identify remaining needs and consider stakeholders with which to coordinate as they plan the use of the new recovery funds.
