The county will receive about $159 million total from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This is definitely a people s plan, said Commission President Stephanie Summerow Dumas. [We re] trying to bring people where they can feel like they have a future, and there s some hope.
The spending plan is broadly split into two categories: one with immediate-need programs to be deployed this summer, and one with long-term projects that require more planning. People are still struggling, said Commissioner Denise Driehaus. How do we provide mortgage assistance, rent assistance, small business assistance, non-profit assistance, to those who are still struggling out there, and also reserve enough of these dollars to make sure we can do some transformational things?

Access to COVID-19 vaccine in Hamilton County and across the Cincinnati region is widening from appointment-only to walk-ins-welcome, and officials said Wednesday they hope the convenience will spur acceptance nearly four months into the campaign.
In contrast to the early weeks of scarcity, vaccine quantity and availability are rapidly growing, said county Commissioner Denise Driehaus. “Everyone in Hamilton County now lives within a 10-minute drive of a vaccination site, on the weekend, during the week, in the morning, in the evening, with an appointment, without an appointment.”
The city of Cincinnati also is widening distributions to walk-in this coming weekend including at a clinic at Paul Brown Stadium, said Marla Fuller, spokeswoman for the city health department. The hours were scheduled for 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Fuller said in an email.
