Monitor spending of federal recovery aid and COVID-19 relief programs in New York State

On October 13, 2021, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced today the launch of his new online tool to monitor spending of federal recovery aid and COVID-19 relief programs in the state, including funds for excluded workers, childcare providers, emergency rental and homeowner assistance, and small business recovery.

The dashboard explains each federal and state program, and how much has been received and spent to date. The data will be updated monthly and expanded to include additional programs and spending details as new information becomes available. New Yorkers can use the tool to understand how federal aid is used and to inform future conversations about budget priorities.

Funds received and spent through Sept. 30, 2021 are listed in the table below. Some insights from the tracker include:

  • The Excluded Workers Fund has disbursed $968.5 million of $2.1 billion; the state budget forecasts it will be fully disbursed in the current fiscal year.
  • The Emergency Rental Assistance Program is forecast to be fully disbursed in State Fiscal Year 2022-23; $696.4 million of the $2.85 billion has been disbursed.

For a specific breakdown of spending, contact the agency overseeing the program area. In some limited instances, the Comptroller’s office can provide more detailed information.
