Last week, Treasury launched the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) for eligible Tribal governments.

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) appropriated $2 billion to Treasury across fiscal years 2022 and 2023 to provide payments to eligible revenue-sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments for use on any governmental purpose except for lobbying activity.

Eligible Tribal governments must request funding by October 31, 2022, at 11:59 PM AKDT. If an eligible Tribal government does not complete its submission by that deadline, the Tribal government will not be eligible for either the first or second payment under the LATCF. The first payment will be available immediately and will be made to Tribes on a rolling basis. Treasury expects to make the second payment in fiscal year 2023.
