Alaska ARPA

Help for Alaska's Tribes

Tribal government funding through ARPA is found within the Treasury’s CSLFRF page. The rules for compliance and reporting are identical to those which apply to State and local governments. There are some expenditures that are allowable for tribes that don’t apply to states and local governments, but they are outlined in the guidance. Tribal governments are required to report 30 days after the end of each quarter: January 31st, 2022, April 30th, 2022, July 31st, 2022, October 31st, 2022 and January 31st, 2023.

The Alaska Municipal League (AML) is offering to support local and tribal governments in their reporting and compliance needs. Please complete the following agreement and we’ll assist in ensuring successful implementation:

Projects Fund), which provides $100 million to be allocated in equal shares to Tribal governments and
the State of Hawaii (for Native Hawaiian programs) to carry out critical capital projects directly enabling
work, education, and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the COVID-19 public
