THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN (ARP)

Witt O’Brien’s has helped more than 100 states, local governments, and NGOs across the nation with a broad range of services centered on compliant, efficient, and expedient COVID-19 response programs. 

The American Rescue Plan with its new funding sources and longer timeline—into 2024—presents new compliance challenges as well as new opportunities to implement long-term recovery programs. Below are some of the key services we are providing to state and local governments.
