- "text": "The federal government provided unprecedented levels of flexible relief funds to local governments across the country, including those in the Rochester region, to help them recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the City of Rochester and Monroe County continue to allocate and spend these federal recovery funds, they have an unparalleled opportunity to not only stimulate economic recovery from the pandemic, but to also increase equity and remediate some of the past inequities that have been built into our nation’s laws and programs. To do so, the funds must be used to ensure that everyone–especially historically excluded groups–can benefit from and contribute to economic growth.\nTo increase transparency in this process, this dashboard tracks data on how the City of Rochester and Monroe County have allocated and spent a portion of these recovery funds: State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) provided through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). SLFRF must be obligated by the end of 2024 and spent by the end of 2026. The dashboard focuses on SLFRF because of their flexibility in giving local governments authority to decide how they should be spent. And, they tended to be on longer term recovery efforts rather than on short term emergency public health response, which was the focus of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) dollars.\nThe dashboard starts by showing what percent of the allocations align with the building blocks of an inclusive recovery, which are five strategies for spending that direct funds to support equity and inclusion. These five building blocks are: create jobs for those who face the greatest barriers to employment, connect historically excluded residents to jobs and economic opportunities, reinvest in disinvested communities, stabilize housing and expand affordable housing, and create opportunities for low-wealth households to build wealth. As of 08/22/23, 65% of the dollars in the City of Rochester and Monroe County were allocated toward programs and initiatives that align with these building blocks.\nThe dashboard then shows more broadly how funds are being spent by policy area and subtopic. Next, it explores how well the allocations align with Rochester Area Community Foundation’s priorities. Finally, it shows how the City of Rochester’s SLFRF capital investments map onto racial characteristics of neighborhoods within the region, as well as how they overlap with the original redlining maps for the city. (Redlining refers to the process in which borrowers are denied access to credit due to the racial composition of their neighborhood.) At the end of the dashboard is a table showing all of the allocations and their descriptions in detail.\nNote that this dashboard does not track outcomes from these investments – it only shows where the dollars are flowing. Simply allocating funds toward topics that could increase equity and inclusion does not guarantee that they do so. Future research efforts should closely monitor outcomes and impacts from the recovery dollar investments to ensure that they close equity gaps exacerbated by the pandemic and address the root causes of inequities."

The four categories were green (“best”), blue (“still desirable”), yellow (“definitely declining”), and red (“hazardous”). These grades were largely based on the neighborhood’s racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious composition. Generally, White, middle-class neighborhoods received FHA home loans, whereas many Black and Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods were deemed hazardous and declining in value and did not receive FHA insured mortgages or loans. These maps had long lasting effects on racial segregation, homeownership, and house values in redlined neighborhoods.\nTo increase equity in the region, leaders must overinvest in communities that have been underinvested in historically. These investments must be those that benefit incumbent residents, meaning that they should not be investments that only benefit new, incoming wealthier residents, or those that have negative impacts on immediate neighbors, like a sewage treatment facility or a highway that pollutes the air. And, they must be investments that community members want, particularly historically excluded members.
