Summary
The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) is a general revenue enhancement program that provides additional assistance to eligible revenue-sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments. Funds have been appropriated from the American Rescue Plan by the U.S. Treasury. Grant recipients may treat these funds in a similar manner to how they treat funds generated from their own revenue. Programs, services, and capital expenditures that are traditionally undertaken by a government are considered to fulfill a governmental purpose.” For Tribal governments, investing in activities undertaken by Tribal enterprises, such as operating or capital expenditures for businesses that are owned or controlled by a Tribal government, are considered a governmental purpose. Recipients should refer to the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund guidance for more information on eligible and ineligible uses. https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/LATCF-guidance.pdf
Recipients may use these funds for any governmental purpose other than a lobbying activity. Grantees may maintain or expand public services, such as health, educational, housing, and public safety services, to their communities with these funds. They may also invest in infrastructure, from roads and bridges to water infrastructure, to facilitate economic development, improve health outcomes, or transition their communities to clean energy. Grantees may also invest in restoring and bolstering government capacities, such as increasing the size of their government workforce or investing in improvements in service including technology infrastructure and data analysis resources.
