All non-entitlement units of government (NEUs—all but eight of Michigan’s largest townships) that accepted American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds must complete their annual “Project and Expenditure Report” by April 30. Every NEU must complete the report, even if your township has not obligated any funds or determined how you will put them to use, or if the township has fully spent the money. The portal for reporting is now open. A one-hour webinar recording from the U.S. Department of Treasury offers a portal demonstration and overview of NEU reporting and compliance obligations. Additional resources and information are also available on MTA’s “Federal COVID-19 Relief Funding” webpage. Reminder: Your township’s SAM.gov registration must be active for the reporting and must be renewed annually. This is free of charge. Your township does not have to pay, or go through a third party, to renew your registration.
