New Resource! County Guide for Reducing Jail Populations and Costs – Nastassia Walsh
* NACo launched its County Guide for Reducing Jail Populations and Costs, a web-based toolkit with key policies and practices for addressing jail population drivers, such as bookings
and arrest, pretrial length of stay, technical violations of community supervision and recidivism. The Guide also features county examples to help support local decision making, as
well as research from national thought leaders on these topics. Access the Guide here <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=0yckTxTLRi2lPvc54pqACw~~&pe=Qrld6cpQ2dtcfNXpksrgA720HIO4JNpeg5HfyzAzlVzfYU8

Release of national survey on county support for entrepreneurship and small business support – Carolina Buitrago
* NACo has partnered with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to conduct an analysis of how counties support entrepreneurship and small businesses. We are inviting counties to document
their supports through a nationwide survey. The analysis will be used to inform federal agencies and philanthropies on how best to engage counties to advance this work and by the Kauffman
Foundation in updating its America’s New Business Plan <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=0yckTxTLRi2lPvc54pqACw~~&pe=-e3_gxquihAlFv4On_L4RzZwruUXgLfPGEDFF6EVzPZvZ_SWsyExw_dkoFxf29QcwznTYXu9wU7YB5

* USDOT – Federal Aviation Administration Contract Tower Competitive Grant Program
* USDOT – Federal Transit Administration Competitive Grants for Rail Vehicle Replacement

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund: Treasury Scale Back of Call Center – Eryn Hurley
* On October 14, counties and other recipients of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Recovery Funds, including the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, Local Assistance and Tribal
Consistency Fund (LATCF) and Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program, received an alert from the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) notifying them that the department’s call center
is scaling back.
* This scale back is due to a shortfall in administrative funding for ARPA recovery programs that NACo has been closely monitoring since counties were alerted in September that Treasury
would be scaling back recovery fund assistance. It is important to note that this shortfall does not impact any Recovery Funds counties received but will impact the types of services
and assistance Treasury is able to provide counties as we continue to invest ARPA funds in our communities.
* The bipartisan State, Local, Tribal and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure and Disaster Relief Act (S. 3011/H.R. 5735), which passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent in
October 2021 and is pending before the U.S. House, would unlock unobligated funds allocated to Treasury for administrative expenses related to operating the Recovery Fund and allow
Treasury to continue to work with state and local government partners to implement this historic investment in America’s communities. Counties urge Congress to include S. 3011/H.R.
5735 in the next federal spending bill so we can continue this valuable partnership and spur long-term economic recovery and growth in our communities with this one-in-a-generation
investment.
