Approximately 200 applications for American Rescue Plan Act funding were initially received in fall 2021.

Tier 1 proposals on the list below will move forward to the next phase of Mobile County’s Evaluation Process performed by the County staff and consultant team. Applicants selected to move forward were notified via the email address provided on the application.

Ten Tier 2 projects have been identified, which may be moved to Tier 1 status pending results of the Evaluation Process and availability of funds. The Tier 2 list includes water/sewer infrastructure projects and programs to address mental health, child abuse, home repair and senior centers.

Once requested information has been gathered and evaluated from these applicants, the Mobile County Commission will make determinations regarding funding through an approved ARPA Expenditure Plan.
