The City of Dallas has been acknowledged as a top performer in the equitable allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, according to a new report. The study, executed by The New School’s Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy, positioned Dallas in the upper echelon, among 170 U.S. cities and counties evaluated for their commitment to reinforcing racial and economic equity via strategic ARPA investment. Dallas’ crucial Eviction Assistance Initiative (EAI) stood out, targeting assistance towards residents grappling with the financial tsunami unleashed by COVID-19.
