All communities in Oregon feel the economic impacts of COVID-19. During the 2021 Session the Governor directed $240 million of CSFRF funding  to members of the legislature to decide how it would be used in their districts. Each state senator was assigned $4 million, and each representative was assigned $2 million. The Legislature allowed each region to identify the priority investments within their area. These priorities were reported to their legislative representatives and then approved as a total package. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) manages these projects as part of the $2.6 billion ARPA CSFRF award to the state of Oregon.​​

​Legislation

The funding was passed in HB 5006 Section 74:  HB5006 (oregonlegislature.gov)

SECTION 74. Notwithstanding any other law limiting expenditures, the amount of $240,000,000 is established for the biennium beginning July 1, 2021, as the maximum limit for payment of expenses by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services from American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund moneys received by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, for the purpose of allocating $4,000,000 to each member of the Senate and $2,000,000 to each member of the House of Representatives to provide grants to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency and its economic impacts.

The Budget Report for HB ​5006 (2021): 64908 (oregonlegislature.gov), lists the recipients, projects, and funding levels beginning on page 25. 

Grant recipients requesting small changes to either projects or recipients during the 2022 Session can be found in HB 5202 Budget Report: 64761 (oregonlegislature.gov), beginning on page 21.

The Oregon Legislature also provides ARPA CSFRF funding to DAS for three internal purposes and two external projects.  First, funding to support the four member COVID Fiscal Relief Team which makes sure the Legislature's direction on funding use is followed, keeps track of the grant recipients' projects and monitors for compliance with federal and state requirements, provides assistance and answers questions from  other state agencies and  grant recipients, and submits required reports to the US Treasury. Second, the Enterprise Information Services has several projects to support the Enterprise Broadband and Cybersecurity Modernization Program. Third, the Chief Human Resources Office has a small grant to expand Workday functionality. 

DAS received $3 million to pass through to the Pendleton Round-Up Foundation for the second phase of the Blue Mountain Community College's Facility for Agricultural Resource Management and $2 million for the Special Districts Association of Oregon to fund capital infrastructures and/or equipment projects for Special Districts located within Oregon House District 7 as it existed in 2021.  ​
