How SLFRF Can Be Used
Aid in Recovery
Support the health of communities and help households, small businesses, impacted industries, nonprofits, and the public sector recover from the economic impacts.
Support Essential Workers
Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical sectors.
Provide Government Services
Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services up to the amount of revenue lost due to the pandemic.
Invest in Infrastructure
Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, to support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand affordable access to broadband internet. The State anticipates guidance on additional allowable infrastructure uses of SLFRF funds in the near future.
