State starts ARPA website

A website to navigate the state’s American Rescue Plan Act program launched on June 1.

The website, arpa.mt.gov, provides information on funding projects and grants under the purview of Montana’s four ARPA commissions: water and sewer, communications, economic stabilization and workforce development, and health and human services. The site also offers information about rental assistance and pandemic-related funding for K-12 education.

A call center to answer ARPA questions is also live. To reach the call center, dial 1-844-406-ARPA (2772).
