Chicago Recovery Plan Projects
The Chicago Recovery Plan (CRP) is the City’s plan to amplify once-in-a-generation federal funding to create an equity-based investment strategy to catalyze a sustainable economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The funding under the Chicago Recovery Plan, which includes funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARP”) and over $600 million in local bond funds, is allocated alongside all other available resources in the City budget to maximize this opportunity over the next three- to five-year funding period. The initiatives and strategic priorities that make up the Chicago Recovery Plan were a result of several stages of community engagement and input during the 2022 budget development process.
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is responsible for distributing $237 million of the CRP to support the equitable economic recovery of Chicago. There are three core focuses of DPD's efforts: Community Development, Small Business and Workforce Support, Community Climate Investments.
