ARPA funds reprogrammed to youth jobs and senior center
Detroit
Summary
About $5.3 million in leftover federal COVID relief is being redirected — $5 million to the Grow Detroit's Young Talent summer jobs program and $300,000 to the Mont Elliott Senior Center. More reallocations, possibly another $5 million, could come in early June, and council members are already angling for priorities like basement backup protection.
