The obligation deadline for municipalities receiving SLFRF funding is December 31, 2024.  Funds not obligated by the deadline will not be available to benefit your community and will need to be returned to the U.S. Treasury.

If your town is struggling to expend SLFRF funds or with the compliance process, we encourage you to contact the Department of Budget and Management’s Municipal Technical Assistance Program (MTAP). Given the impending December 31 deadline, MTAP has moved its Office Hours to every Tuesday, now through December 17, to increase the number of opportunities to discuss the obligation deadline. Please see below for the Office Hours meeting link and call in number. You can use the same meeting link each Tuesday.

Date: Weekly on Tuesdays from October 29 to December 17, 2024

Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST

MTAP is also conducting an important survey to help determine the best ways to help municipalities manage and access SLFRF and other federal funds. if you have not already done so, please respond to MTAP's survey today. Your input is critical, and the survey should only take about 5 minutes to submit. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. 

Finally, the U.S. Treasury has released the latest version of the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for the SLFRF program. The Guidance contains important reporting information that aligns with upcoming important program requirements and deadlines, including the requirement to obligate all SLFRF funds by December 31, 2024. Recipients can find clarifications to the SLFRF obligation requirement in Section 17 of the SLFRF Frequently Asked Questions.
