American Rescue Plan

The American Rescue Plan is a $1.9 trillion legislative package passed in March 2021 to help the U.S. recover from the economic and health impacts of COVID-19. It provides direct financial aid to individuals and families, supports small businesses, funds efforts to distribute vaccines, and boosts healthcare and education systems. The goal is to stabilize the economy, reduce health disparities, and assist communities most affected by the pandemic, helping them recover more quickly and equitably.
