In line with the intended uses, the USVI plans and has utilized its Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF or SLFRF) through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to continue to deliver an effective public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic while addressing the increasing negative economic impacts to the USVI community. U.S. Treasury has recognized that the entirety of the USVI was disproportionately impacted as a US Territory. The Government of the Virgin Islands (GVI) through the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) has largely focused its pandemic efforts on improving the lives of its residents and prioritizing unmet needs in its communities. The GVI’s priorities have evolved based on changes in the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent economic impacts on the world economy. The USVI has been successful in responding to the COVID-19 disease itself and achieved its goal to vaccinate at least 50% of our total population. Over $48 million of projects were approved to support public health efforts including vaccination, mitigation, testing, and prevention which provided critical funding to assist the USVI in its response to COVID-19. However, loss of tourism revenue devastated the USVI economy and we continue to face unprecedented inflation rates and costs to live; as a result, investments that address the negative economic impact of the pandemic now increase in importance and urgency. Furthermore, the USVI Recovery Plan remains committed to the large infrastructure projects designed to bring potable water directly into homes and provide high-speed internet throughout the islands. Logistical challenges remain complex in the islands due to both the inherent challenges and because the USVI continues to move forward on its large recovery projects originating from the damage caused by the 2017 Category 5 hurricanes. Even though the GVI has done an excellent job of balancing the safety of Virgin Islanders, while still having a functioning economy, it has seen a significant impact on the Territory’s revenues. Revenue loss replacement funds from the ARPA continue to provide crucial funding to maintain a high level of productivity and service to the community. The USVI intends to utilize its funds to improve the physical and emotional wellbeing of its residents especially those suffering from the compounded effects of the pandemic. The plan continues to be refined to adjust to the Territory’s needs to respond to the effects of the pandemic and contains a multipronged approach to accomplishing the following:  Create economically stable households through affordable housing development, subsidized housing programs, workforce development, increased employment and targeted economic support programs;  Increase the safety of USVI residents by mitigating the threat of COVID-19, reducing crime and increasing the conviction of violent criminals within the Territory;  Provide educational, economical and emotional support for children, adolescents and other vulnerable populations; and  Improve the quality of life for all Virgin Islanders. 3 This list is not all-inclusive, but it provides a foundation on which the USVI can continue to build. The USVI has been allocated $547,176,884 through the SLFRF program as established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The chart below depicts the current planned budget across the major expenditure categories. Appendix A contains a breakdown of these budgets across Recovery Plan sub- categories. The GVI is continuing to evaluate and determine priorities while working to activate critical programs and services. Use of Funds The GVI will invest a large portion of its $547 million in SLFRF funding on its planned water, sewer and broadband infrastructure programs. Conversely, the unusually high level of inflation caused in part by the successful economic recovery, has caused great hardship on the citizens of the USVI. As a result, the USVI has emphasized spending on projects that mitigate the negative economic impacts of the pandemic on the disproportionately impacted USVI community, including households, small businesses and nonprofit organizations. The GVI has prioritized providing premium pay to those who risked the most to keep our economy functioning. Finally, the GVI continues to invest its revenue replacement funds to help mitigate the impact of revenue shortfalls experienced by USVI agencies. Throughout the budgeting and grant administration process, the GVI has focused on implementing the SLFRF program in a way that helps support a strong and equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn. Due to the very high poverty rate in the islands, the high cost of goods and services, and the disproportionate impact of the collapse of tourism on low-income citizens, the USVI’s investments using SLFRF funding focuses on investing resources in ways that benefits the most adversely impacted citizens. The following describes the GVI’s strategy and goals of the SLFRF program and how the GVI’s approach helps support a strong and equitable recovery from the pandemic and economic downturn for each Expenditure Category (EC). $48,026,177 $77,554,220 $16,748,450 $32,431,786 $19,335,000 $345,888,939 $7,192,312 $- $50,000,000 $100,000,000 $150,000,000 $200,000,000 $250,000,000 $300,000,000 $350,000,000 $400,000,000 1: Public Health 2: Negative Economic Impacts 3: Public Sector Capacity 4: Premium Pay 5: Infrastructure 6: Revenue Replacement 7: Administrative 2025 Recovery Plan 4 Public Health – Expenditure Category 1 Total Budgeted: $48,026,177 It is the goal of the GVI’s SLFRF program to vaccinate a large portion the USVI population, mitigate against the spread of COVID-19 and care for the sick. The GVI’s strategy to accomplish these goals is to invest SLFRF funds in a broad range of vaccination, testing and mitigation programs as well as provide investments to reduce violence and maintain enforcement of COVID-19 safety protocols. The GVI programs are designed to support a strong and equitable recovery by executing these programs without regard to a citizen’s ability to pay. The USVI has only two hospitals providing care to the general public. Both hospitals were devastated in September 2017 by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which impacted the Territory within two weeks of each other. Both the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Schneider Regional Medical Center sustained significant structural damage. The Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital has been deemed irreparable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and a temporary modular hospital will be operating in the interim during the demolition and construction of the new hospital. As a result, the physical capacity to treat COVID-positive patients requiring acute care is severely limited. The geographical isolation of the USVI also limits access to additional clinical personnel to supplement the existing medical staff. A surge of active cases, like those experienced as a result of the Delta, Omicron, and other variants, can quickly cause the public health response in the USVI to exceed its physical and human resource capacity. The following provides details on the plans for the use of ARPA SLFRF in this category. Vaccination Programs One of the priorities of the GVI’s public health response is increasing the COVID-19 vaccination rates. The targeted goal of our effort was to vaccinate at least 50% of our total population. As of June 30, 2025, 58,951 individuals1 have been fully vaccinated in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This is over 50% of the total population. To boost our vaccination rates, the GVI has promoted a series of financial incentives in the form of vaccine lotteries (Project 000004). These lotteries have included cash drawings for the general population of vaccinated individuals, as well as special targeted drawings for school-based personnel, healthcare and allied health care workers, law enforcement officers, and children ages 12-17. Additionally, agencies offered financial vaccine incentive programs to their employees in the form of gift cards and cash (Projects 000003 & 000006). The Recovery Plan currently includes $4,927,901 for vaccination programs. COVID-19 Testing Convenient access to testing and the timely processing of results are critical to effectively responding and mitigating the impacts of the pandemic. To promote accessible testing, the Department of Health engaged with five local healthcare providers to conduct COVID-19 testing for students and staff of the Virgin Islands Department of Education and the University of the Virgin Islands (Project 000040). Additionally, agencies rendered services to conduct 1 Virgin Islands - COVID-19 Overview - Johns Hopkins (jhu.edu) 5 COVID-19 testing for employees who either had COVID-19 or were exposed to someone with COVID-19 (Project 000042). The Recovery Plan includes $873,750 to support COVID-19 testing. Prevention in Congregate Settings Like most other jurisdictions, the USVI experienced unfortunate outbreaks of infection in nursing homes, schools and within its prison complex. The Recovery Plan includes $3,540,248 for prevention and mitigation of viral spread in congregate living facilities and other key settings. Funding has been approved for Department of Public Works (Project 000018), VI Port Authority (Project 000043), Department of Sports, Parks, & Recreation (Project 000061), Office of the Territorial Public Defender (Project 000107), Office of the Governor (Project 000137), and Department of Property and Procurement (Project 000156) to clean facilities and provide equipment such as temperature scanners, touchless sanitation and handwashing supplies, and air filtration systems in efforts to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, a project for VI Bureau of Corrections (Project 000031) was approved to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in crowded USVI jail facilities. Personal Protective Equipment The Recovery Plan includes $261,000 to fund the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE). To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, funding was approved for We Grow Food Inc. to purchase PPE for the community’s farmers market events (Project 000027) as well as the Department of Property & Procurement to purchase surgical masks for government agencies (Project 000179). Enhancing Healthcare Capacity The Recovery Plan includes $4,178,912 for enhancing healthcare capacity. VI Healthcare Foundation is in the process of developing an additional dialysis unit to provide additional dialysis services on the island of St. Croix to mitigate against another COVID-related shutdown of the sole dialysis provider on the island (Project 000001). Per the CDC, adults with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes are more likely than others to become severely ill if infected with COVID-19 and are more likely to need hospitalization, be admitted into an intensive care unit, need a ventilator to help them breathe, or die. The Virgin Islands have seen a disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths related to diabetes. VI Diabetes Center of Excellence (VIDCOE) will use funding to prevent the onset of diabetes and its complications through health promotion, patient education, treatment, and research. The VIDCOE's goal is to reduce the burden of diabetes and improve the quality of life for all patients who have or are at risk for diabetes (Project 000033). Funding is also being utilized by Patient Assist VI to expand its Medicare Part D deductible and co-pay support for senior patients in order to support uninsured and underinsured patients in the USVI (Project 000211). Capital Investments or Physical Plant Changes to Public Facilities The public hospitals in the Territory were forced to make considerable alterations to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infections. Several government agencies have made physical alterations such as installing air filtration and no-contact access control systems to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (Projects 000014 & 6 000016). The Recovery Plan includes $77,295 for physical plant improvements and another $228,520 for ventilation improvements in key locations. Public Health Services $279,243 has been budgeted to provide public health services to vulnerable populations. A project was approved for Department of Sports, Parks, & Recreation (Project 000055) to provide funding to foster programs and activities conducive to improving the physical and emotional wellbeing of all Virgin Islanders. Mental Health Services The Recovery Plan includes $395,000 for community-based mental health programs, trauma recovery services for crime victims, and school-based, social-emotional support and other mental health services. A project was approved for Department of Health – Division of Behavioral Health (Project 000193) to provide funding for community outreach programs to raise awareness about mental health issues and suicide prevention. Another project was approved for Department of Health – Division of Behavioral Health to augment the capacity of psychiatric services in the USVI (Project 000188). Other Public Health Services The Recovery Plan includes $13,292,879 for medical technology and public health data system support. These projects are critical to the health and safety of residents of the USVI community. Funding has been approved for the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital (Project 000024A) and Schneider Regional Medical Center (Project 000025A) to implement Meditech technology support at their organizations as well as for the expansion of the hemodialysis unit at Schneider Regional Medical Center (Project 000025B). Additionally, a project was approved for Department of Health (Project 000103) to provide funding to procure, implement, and operate a comprehensive healthcare data repository and management system called Virgin Islands Universal Data Warehouse. To improve preparedness for future emergencies, a project was approved for Virgin Islands Fire and Emergency Medical Services (Project 000166) to provide emergency medical supplies, and Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedic trainings. Lastly, a project was approved for the Office of Health Information Technology to implement a governance structure for a Territory-wide Health Information Exchange (Project 000201). Community Violence Interventions & Territorial Crime Initiatives In calendar year 2020, the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) reported one hundred and twenty- nine (129) shooting incidents, with forty-nine (49) homicides and the seizure of one hundred and seventy-one (171) unlicensed, illegal firearms. In a population of 105,000 people, these statistics are concerning; per capita, they rival or surpass the crime rate of major cities on the continental United States. Of further concern is the occurrence of gun violence and shoot-outs in populated areas, including those frequented by children—beaches, day care centers, restaurants and shopping centers during morning, afternoon, and evening hours. Within the USVI community, there is an ever-present fear that innocents may become entangled in a shoot-out while going about daily life. This activity also serves to undermine the Territory’s fragile tourism-dependent economy. To address gun violence and safety concerns, $16,544,781 has been budgeted to address federal- territorial initiatives to reduce crime. Projects were approved for VIPD (Projects 000050 & 000090) to 7 obtain specialized contractor support with ongoing investigations including homicides, drug smuggling, gang activity, maritime crimes, and missing persons. A project was approved for VIPD (Project 000148) to increase proactive crime fighting strategies with the purchase of new patrol cars, funding for illegal firearm and contraband inspection initiatives, and advanced deterrent and detection equipment. Additionally, a project was approved for VIPD (Project 000167) to enhance VIPD’s digital forensics analyses and data discovery services investigations through the acquisition of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, specialized investigative equipment, project support, and expert witness testimony during trials. $539,310 has been budgeted to deploy a community violence intervention strategy which will be largely facilitated by the newly created Office of Gun Violence Prevention. A project has been approved for the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to contract with National Network for Safe Communities to provide strategic advising, problem analysis, and workshops to assist with implementing this strategy (Project 000091) and to hire a Survivor Engagement Specialist and a Violence Interrupter (Project 000125). Communication / Dissemination of Public Health Information & COVID-19 Task Force Vaccine advertisements and other communications continue to be targeted to the community, educating the public about the COVID-19 vaccine and promoting public health (Project 000005 and 000078). The Recovery Plan includes $1,325,294 to support continued dissemination of public health information. Through Executive Order, the Governor deputized a multi-agency task force of law enforcement officers to enforce the COVID-related public health orders. Funding for additional environmental enforcement patrol vessels was approved to enforce the COVID-19 mandates (Projects 000009 and 000065). The plan includes $1,562,044 to support the costs of the COVID task force. Negative Economic Impacts – Expenditure Category 2 Total Budgeted: $77,554,220 The USVI continues to recover from back-to-back hurricanes Irma and Maria, which affected the Territory in 2017. The aftermath of these hurricanes, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, leaves the USVI challenged in meeting the needs of its residents and businesses during this economic downturn. Although protecting life remains the USVI’s highest priority, the government must address the economic impact of the catastrophic loss of tourism revenue and jobs – more than half of the USVI economy relies on tourist dollars, a revenue source that was essentially eliminated for well over a year. The strategy of the GVI is to deliver resources to the Virgin Islanders in greatest need with the goal of addressing both the ongoing impact of the pandemic and more structural economic challenges like poverty, educational disparities, access to high-speed internet, greater opportunities to get outdoors and exercise all in support of a more equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. As a result, the GVI is funding critically needed investments in internet access to improve community accessibility, job training programs, improvements to outdoor facilities and programs that address educational disparities. Additionally, the USVI is using funds to provide much needed aid to the local tourism industry, disproportionately impacted individuals, households, small businesses and private nonprofits. 8 The GVI will continue to invest SLFRF funds in a broad range of economic programs to assist households, small businesses and nonprofit organizations recovering from the pandemic. The programs are designed to support a strong and equitable recovery by designing these programs with lower-income workers in mind and providing these services without regard to a citizen’s ability to pay which helps ensure an equitable recovery. Housing Support: Affordable Housing Research has found that there is a positive correlation between stable housing and homeownership with higher self-reported well-being and health. Perceived or real increased well-being can make significant impacts on health, including mental health, education attainment and employment. A reduction in economic distress and increase in safety and security result in better health, equity and health equity. The cost of home construction in the Territory is extremely high due in part to the geographic isolation of the USVI and to the considerable requirements of the local building code. This situation has been exasperated by the inflationary pressures resulting from the construction boom in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. The Recovery Plan includes $8,300,000 to assist the Territory in offsetting the pre-development expenses of affordable housing construction and offering programs to assist individuals pursuing homeownership. A project has been approved for the Economic Development Agency (Project 000154) to provide funding for the VI Slice Moderate-Income Homeownership Program to provide opportunities to increase homeownerships amongst moderate-income households within the territory. A project has also been approved for the VI Housing Authority (Project 000199) to provide a $15,000 grant to 20 homeowners as part of the Williams Delight Housing Community Homeownership Program to promote homeownership and benefit low-income households in St. Croix. Housing Support: Services for Unhoused Persons Providing housing for those in need promotes good health through shelter from the elements, reduced crime and incarceration, and often a reduction in drug use, all of which impact costs associated with criminal justice and healthcare. According to a literature review from Health Affairs, stable housing can reduce healthcare costs through a reduction in Medicaid expenditures and emergency room visits. Having access to consistent shelter also results in a reduction in psychological distress and intimate partner violence. The GVI intends to provide supportive housing and other services for individuals experiencing homelessness utilizing $761,651 of ARPA funding. A project has been approved for St. Croix Mission Outreach, Inc. (Project 000099) to secure, renovate, furnish and staff four Single Room Occupancy units, with supportive services for the homeless on St. Croix as well as Hearts in Service Association (Project 000178) to renovate existing buildings and add new transitional housing to provide clients with interim stability and support so they could successfully transition to and maintain permanent housing. Another project was approved for Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Inc. (Project 000207) to hire three additional staff members to support the operations of Our Lady of Charity Homeless Shelter on St. John. 9 Household Assistance: Aid to Fixed Income Households The Recovery Plan includes $13,563,000 to provide crucially needed stimulus payments to social security recipients, taxi drivers, and cancer patients in the Territory. All households and individuals in the USVI are presumed to be disproportionately impacted; however, this population experienced additional hardship when faced with the high costs as a result of COVID-19 including cost of living, fuel prices and medical costs. Funding has been approved to disburse retiree and taxi stipends to individuals (Project 000082 and 000126) in addition to cash assistance to cancer patients (Project 000151 and 000192). Household Assistance: Improving Community Accessibility The Recovery Plan includes $11,894,321 (Projects 000051 and 000063) to expand Wi-Fi access and allow for remote workstations throughout the USVI to support increased community access of free Wi-Fi, distance learning, telemedicine and virtual government. Household Assistance: Addressing COVID-19 Impacts on Utility Costs Access to utilities, such as water and electricity, coincides directly with adequate housing and shelter. Healthy living conditions, which include access to utilities (water, heat, electricity etc.), directly impact health and equity. Residents having trouble paying utility bills are at risk for poor living conditions and are more than likely experiencing psychological stress to keep the electricity on. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average residential electric rate in the United States, as of March 2023, was 15.85 cents per kilowatt-hour. The current residential rate in the U.S. Virgin Islands is 43.47 cents per kilowatt-hour. That is nearly three times the national average and a considerable portion of household expenses for the typical family. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in increased fuel and electrical costs. Generally, these costs are passed to the ratepayers of the USVI, however the overall cost of living, including the cost of electric in the USVI is already far more expensive compared to other areas in the country. The Recovery Plan includes $6,522,056 (Project 000109) to provide utility aid to the USVI community in order to prevent passing down price increases to the ratepayers. Household Assistance: Community Spaces The Recovery Plan includes $1,985,550 (Projects 000011, 000150, & 000162) to improve and maintain community spaces including installing public restrooms and repairing the local library on St. Thomas. Household Assistance: Senior Assistance The Recovery Plan includes $311,200 to support seniors. Low-income and socially vulnerable communities have seen the most severe impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding will be used to provide key information to vulnerable groups in the community regarding COVID protection and health screenings (Project 000180) and to fund critical facility repairs for the Herbert Grigg Home for the Aged and supplies for the elderly residents who live there (Project 000204). Job Training Assistance Income and employment are direct drivers of the quality of life for all people. The creation of skill building and learning opportunities for employment can be invaluable for those who cannot afford a traditional education to gain the skills needed for employment. In addition to insufficient funds to pay for training, childcare is an additional cost to the process of receiving training. With assistance to 10 provide training and childcare, individuals will be eligible for employment, thus increasing their quality of life. Previously incarcerated individuals also have a difficult time gaining employment from the skills perspective. Offering programs that can assist them in gaining new skills to become employed will help improve their quality of life as well as reduce their likelihood to engage in crime again. In addition to the Covid-related job losses and displacement, Limetree Bay Refining, LLC, on the island of St. Croix, announced its closure in July 2021. The Limetree Bay refinery was the largest private employer in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Recovery Plan earmarks $855,000 for subsidized employment programs (Project 000022), $5,671,768 for apprenticeships, skills development, and workforce training (Projects 000008, 000028, and 000160), and $500,000 for training programs for formerly incarcerated individuals (Project 000185). Aid to Travel, Tourism, & Hospitality The hospitality industry endured two periods of closure in 2020 as a result of Executive Orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first closure was March 23rd through June 1st. The second closure was August 19th through September 19th. During these closures, hotels and similar properties were prohibited from booking guests who travelled to the Territory for leisure purposes which severely reduced visitor arrivals to the Territory. Additionally, the U.S. Virgin Islands went more than 15 months without a cruise ship visit. Since the relaxing of the “No Sail” order by the Centers for Disease Control, ship arrivals have been sporadic until recently. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas was the Caribbean's most popular cruise port, with as many as six ships docked in a single day. This has been a major driver to the Territory’s increased unemployment rates. Jobs and economic stability for the USVI are crucial to maintaining the Territory’s population, as well as revitalization during and after the pandemic. The Recovery Plan includes $17,100,030 for aid to the impacted tourism industry (Projects 000002, 000029, 000079, 000080, & 000136). Small Business & Private-Nonprofit Assistance The Recovery Plan includes $7,618,349 for assistance to small businesses and private non-profits impacted by COVID-19 (Projects 000046, 000086, 000101, 000106, 000108, 000122, 000123, 000127, 000129, 000134, 000152, 000163, 000164, 000170, and 000187). As part of this budget category, the GVI funded $4,158,040 for a Small Business Innovation Grant program where small businesses could apply to receive up to $50,000 to utilize grant funding to make their businesses more resilient and innovative (Project 000095). Aid to Households & Communities – Health & Wellness Program The Recovery Plan includes $140,000 for the Department of Health to facilitate a health and wellness program to provide free medical care to USVI residents (Project 000194). Aid to Households & Communities – Addressing Educational Disparities The Recovery Plan includes $350,000 for the University of the Virgin Islands to develop a strategic plan to recapture workers lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and keep pace with changes in the economy and workforce resulting from the pandemic (Project 000209). 11 Aid to Households & Communities – Medical Facilities The Recovery Plan earmarks $1,981,293 to support the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital’s continued operations by providing funding for patient care supplies (Project 000024B). Public Health-Negative Economic Impact: Public Sector Capacity – Expenditure Category 3 Total Budgeted: $16,748,450 It is the goal of the GVI to ensure that the public sector is adequately staffed to meet the needs of USVI citizens. The GVI’s strategy to achieve this goal is to identify and fund government employment positions that need to be filled to maintain a quality level of service to the community and identify strategic and critical retention programs. The GVI has hired or intends to hire additional staff in support of public sector capacity including critical front line health care workers, temporary workers, several community service officers and additional prosecutors. The GVI will also assess other funding opportunities to strengthen the public sector capacity in the coming months. Funding personnel under this category helps support a strong and equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn by providing local residents the opportunity to serve the needs of their fellow citizens through employment with the USVI central government or one of its agencies. Clinical Incentives The Recovery Plan includes $5,520,000 in funding for retention incentives to current and new staff at Juan F Luis Hospital (Project 000024) & Schneider Regional Medical Center (Project 000025). Both hospitals are facing critical staffing shortages and have continuously experienced difficulty both recruiting and retaining hospital staff. Wages for nurses and other patient care technicians are typically much higher on the mainland and the two hospitals struggle to remain competitive. Payroll Costs for Public Health, Safety, and Other Public Sector Staff The Recovery Plan includes $7,242,480 in funding for government agencies to offset the cost of payroll expenses for responding to the pandemic (Projects 000013, 000073, 000089, 000121, 000155, 000177, and 000191). Covid-related Court Backlogs As a result of the pandemic, the judicial branch of government did not hold jury trials and experienced a significant backlog of cases. The Recovery Plan includes $972,315 to address Covid-related court backlogs (Project 000041). Technology Improvements The Recovery Plan includes $2,863,655 for technology improvements at USVI central government agencies such as the digitization of files, expansion of the ShotSpotter network, implementation of an electronic forms signature capture system, and the acquisition of a learning management system (Projects 00012, 000032, 000168, and 000196). Cost of Living Analysis Finally, the Recovery Plan includes $150,000 for the Department of Licensing & Consumer Affairs to conduct a cost-of-living analysis and assess the increase in food and housing costs in the USVI (Project 000161). 12 Premium Pay – Expenditure Category 4 Total Budgeted: $32,431,786 It is the goal of the GVI to provide premium pay to workers whose jobs exposed them to the COVID-19 virus during the most severe phases of the pandemic. The USVI’s strategy to achieve this goal is to identify and compensate employees that risked contracting COVID-19 while performing essential work. The GVI supports a robust premium pay program for both the public and private sectors and initial payments included premium pay to front line workers, including health care workers and education staff. The benefits of these programs will largely fall to lower-income workers which helps ensure an equitable recovery from the pandemic. Public and Private Sector Employees According to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual wage in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2020, was $47,960 across all occupations. The USVI prioritized and developed a retroactive premium pay program for public and private sector workers who provided essential services and meet the Treasury requirements for eligibility. The Recovery Plan earmarks $32,431,786 for this purpose (Projects 000056 & 000059). Infrastructure – Expenditure Category 5 Total Budgeted: $19,335,000 The GVI has built an extensive public infrastructure for water, sewer and broadband services in the Territory. However, many households, especially low-income households, do not have access to potable water piped into their homes and must rely on cisterns or expensive water delivery trucks. The failure to expand these systems, however, has left many areas unserved or underserved. The SLFRF provides a much-needed opportunity for the GVI to make investments in the expansion of its public infrastructure and increase the standard of living in the Territory. The GVI is continuing to develop plans to expand drinking water transmission and distribution lines to thousands of homes while making needed repairs and improvements to existing drinking water systems. Over the past year, the GVI has worked to identify the most critical infrastructure projects and coordinate resources; however, the GVI faces challenges caused by constrained resources, limited land, a shortage of worker housing, shipping logistics challenges, and distance between island groups, which make executing several large projects simultaneously difficult. The GVI is working diligently to solve these problems and prioritize projects in ways that best addresses the needs of underserved communities and promotes an equitable recovery. Justice40 Initiative The Justice40 initiative seeks to devote 40% of federal investments in covered programs to benefit disadvantaged communities. The GVI plans significant investments in water, sewer, and broadband which will provide critical funding that qualifies under the Justice40 initiative to secure environmental justice and spur economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities as defined by Executive Order M- 21-28 (July 20, 2021). All planned projects, totaling $19.3 million, will benefit disadvantaged 13 communities as defined by the Justice40 initiative. The GVI is presuming that the entire USVI community is considered a disadvantaged community per the Justice40 Interim Guidance (M-21-28)2. Rather than attempt to use the geospatial Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)3, the GVI defined its disadvantaged community as being a “geographically disbursed” population sharing “common conditions.” The GVI chose this method, in part, because according to the CEJST, data on U.S. Territories is limited and because the USVI has a very large and geographically disbursed disadvantaged community. The Justice40 Interim Guidance (M-21-28) stated that agencies should define a community as “either a group of individuals living in geographic proximity to one another, or a geographically dispersed set of individuals (such as migrant workers or Native Americans), where either type of group experiences common conditions” (emphasis added). Per the Addendum to the Interim Implementation Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative4, the CEJST only applies to the identification of disadvantaged communities that are geographically defined, and not to those that are geographically dispersed. M-23-09 also says “in certain special circumstances, it may be appropriate for an agency to issue a limited exception to using the CEJST to identify geographically-defined disadvantaged communities where there is a justifiable need to consider other communities as disadvantaged within the meaning of the original Justice40 Interim Guidance definition of disadvantaged communities.” This is an instance where the use of the CEJST is appropriate. Further, the residents of the USVI share “common conditions.” Residents of the USVI earn low average median household income (about $40,000 annual household income compared to $67,000 for the United States5, while living on remote islands with extremely high cost of living. One in five households live in poverty, food and housing costs are very high compared to the mainland, while electricity is about three higher6. Further, 87% of the population is minority (78% black and 9% other minority)7. Executive Order M-21-28 says that agencies should consider indicators of disadvantaged communities including low income and poverty, racial segregation, high housing costs and high energy costs. Finally, the ARPA CSLFRF Final Rule, which authorized the wastewater and stormwater investments, presumes the entire population of the USVI was disproportionately impacted by the pandemic making the USVI eligible for expanded assistance (31 CFR 35.6(b)(2)(iii)(A)) largely based on economic challenges. These challenges were based on “pre-existing disparities in these communities amplified the impacts of the pandemic. For example, the interim final rule recognized that the negative economic effects of the pandemic were particularly pronounced among lower-income families, who were more likely to experience income loss and more likely to have a job that required in-person work. The interim final rule recognized the role of pre-existing social vulnerabilities and disparities in driving the disparate health and economic outcomes and presumed that programs designed to address these health or economic disparities ...“ (Final Rule, page 16). 2 M-21-28 (whitehouse.gov) 3 Explore the map - Climate & Economic Justice Screening Tool (geoplatform.gov) 4 M-23-09 (whitehouse.gov). 5 Regional_VirginIslands (newyorkfed.org) 6 U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis 7 2020 Island Areas Censuses Data Now Available for the USVI 14 Clean Water: Stormwater The Recovery Plan anticipates $18,000,000 for the modernization of stormwater systems in four (4) main historic towns and drainage projects in three additional neighborhoods. Funding has been approved to support Department of Public Work’s rehabilitation of storm drainage in Charlotte Amalie and Frederiksted (Project 000117). Drinking Water: Transmission & Distribution Within the USVI, a significant portion of the population still lives in areas without access to a potable water distribution system. For these areas, rainwater collection is the primary source of water for household use. Unfortunately, most private rainwater collection systems fail to meet the minimal drinking water standards. As a result, individuals residing in these areas either purchase their drinking water separately or risk their health by consuming water not fit for human consumption. Our Recovery Plan proposes $1,335,000 for waterline expansion to unserved areas in the Territory, water production and distribution system upgrades, and rehabilitation of existing waterlines and pump stations that are past their useful life. Funding has been approved to support VI Water & Power Authority’s Ross Estate Waterline Expansion Project and Julian Jackson Drive Rehabilitation Project (Projects 000075C & 000075G) as well as the rehabilitation of the Donoe Pump Station and the MIOX Chlorine System (Projects 000189 & 000190). Revenue Replacement – Expenditure Category 6 Total Budgeted: $345,888,939 Tourism is the largest industry in the USVI. The Revenue Replacement funding under ARPA provides the USVI an essential lifeline – the tax revenue generated by tourism completely dried up beginning in 2020 leaving the Territory with limited funds to provide basic services. Mainland and international tourists stayed home, and the cruise ships stopped visiting. The USVI, like many other jurisdictions, has seen a revenue shortfall since the inception of COVID, primarily due to the reduction of tourism as well as the closure of businesses. It is the goal of the USVI to use these funds to address the USVI’s pressing financial shortfalls caused by the pandemic. The strategy for accomplishing this goal is to continue to assess funding needs to maximize the benefit to the largest number of disadvantaged people. In this way, the USVI helps ensure an equitable recovery. The USVI is utilizing Treasury’s formula to calculate its revenue loss. $345,888,939 has been earmarked to address revenue loss while understanding that actual revenue loss will have to be calculated every year based on actual revenues. So far, the USVI has used funds to provide government services which addressed critical increases in fuel and garbage collection costs, needs for additional police vehicles, school maintenance, funding for road projects, GVI payroll, GVI outstanding vendor payments, etc. (Projects 000007, 000007A, 000024D, 000038, 000039, 000057, 000057A, 000060, 000060A, 000067, 000075A, 000092, 000092A, 000096, 000098, 000104, 000105, 000120, 000131, 000138, 000145, 000146, 000153, 000182, 000183, 000186, 000198, 000203, 000212, & 000213). As Treasury has provided recipients wide latitude in using Revenue Replacement funds, the USVI will continue to identify the best use of these funds. 15 Administrative – Expenditure Category 7 Total Budgeted: $7,192,312 The Recovery Plan earmarks $7,192,312 to be used for administrative costs associated with managing and overseeing ARPA SLFRF funding and adhering to federal grant requirements. Funding has been used for salaries and fringe benefits of ARPA grant administrators, travel costs related to ARPA projects, web design costs, consulting fees, and cost of developing a grant management portal to facilitate communication with applicants. The USVI will continue to leverage these funds to ensure that ARPA funding is utilized in accordance with Treasury guidelines. Other Federal Recovery Funds The GVI is utilizing additional American Rescue Plan funds including Emergency Rental Assistance, Homeowner Assistance Fund, State Small Business Credit Initiative, and other available grants. It is the GVI’s goal to work across implementing agencies to strategize and maximize the benefits of the American Rescue Plan funds, as well as prevent duplication of efforts. Please see Appendix B for additional details. Community Engagement In addition to monitoring and oversight of project completion, status, and compliance, the GVI continues to recognize that community engagement and input is critical for the successful implementation and utilization of these funds. The GVI hosted a series of pop-up in-person data collection and intake events from June 13, 2023 – June 22, 2023 in St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John to assist Social Security Benefit recipients with applying for a one-time $500 stipend. The in-person events were implemented to assist recipients who struggled with electronic submissions due to limited access. The GVI held two Informational Fairs in June 2022 for community members to attend and learn more about ARPA SLFRF grant funding projects, plans and opportunities to submit applications. Over 175 community members and presenters attended. Presenters provided an overview of the projects funded by ARPA SLFRF and impact to the USVI community. The GVI is still regularly engaged in COVID-19 programming to keep the community informed including participating in:  Recovery in Focus - a monthly program to keep the community informed on the state of the recovery-related issues here in the USVI  Monthly Press Box - Discussions on the Governor’s monthly Press Box, which is streamed live on both social media and the official Office of the Governor’s website, allowing community questions and comments  Radio Talk Shows - With radio being a main means of communication and information for the USVI, members of the Governor's Cabinet and the Director of the Office of Management & Budget have actively participated in radio talk shows fielding calls and answering questions from the public, thereby providing another avenue for community engagement The GVI’s ARPA transparency website includes links to the USVI’s Recovery Plan, Treasury Quarterly Reports submitted, Premium Pay and ARPA Community Feedback where community members can share 16 direct feedback on the current plan or ideas about projects they would like to see funded. The website also includes a Funding Overview and details on payments to vendors. The GVI continues to increase visibility and engagement with the community which will include additional polls and surveys utilized through the website and social media pages. As programs and projects continue to be developed, the GVI continues to identify opportunities to partner with community organizations to leverage their expertise and programs, in an effort to target and support vulnerable and diverse populations based on identified priorities. The GVI regularly reviews feedback received through the engagement strategies detailed above as it considers how to prioritize the plans and use of ARPA SLFRF grant funding in order to address unmet needs in the community. This is achieved through regularly reviewing the budget, grant applications received, and looking for opportunities to incorporate community feedback received through the SLFRF program. Labor Practices The GVI is committed to using strong labor standards where possible in projects funded through ARPA SLFRF. Labor practices along with many critical labor related topics are coordinated through the VI Department of Labor (VIDOL). The mission of VIDOL is to administer a system of effective programs and services designed to develop, protect and maintain a viable workforce. This requires that the VIDOL build partnerships with government agencies, community organizations and other stakeholders in order to develop a talented workforce, to protect the workforce and to provide responsive fail-safe programs that support the workforce system. These goals support the Honorable Governor Albert Bryan Jr. directive to “Provide workers with the assistance and encouragement they need to develop new skills and competencies over time, both to seek greater opportunity and to adapt to a rapidly changing employment reality and world economy.” VIDOL has specific divisions which focus on ensuring strong labor standards are utilized on projects throughout the Territory including but not limited to:  Division of Labor Relations – provides protection of workers’ rights, regulates the employment practices of employers, promotes job opportunities for residents of the Territory and encourages a healthier, more harmonious relationship between labor unions, the private business sector and the government  Division of Job Service – provides a viable and highly effective labor exchange system for the Territory by connecting job seekers with suitable jobs and employers with qualified/skilled workers  Division of Occupational Safety and Health – ensures as much as practicable, a safe and healthful working environment for all public sector employers and employees of the USVI  Division of Workers’ Compensation – strives to minimize the adverse impact of work-related injuries on the employees and employers of the Territory by providing temporary medical and disability benefits for work-related injuries and diseases The GVI requires compliance with a comprehensive list of labor laws that include wage and hour rules, minimum wage requirements, anti-discrimination rules, requirements for meals and rest periods, 17 unemployment insurance requirements, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules and job training programs. These strong labor standards establish the framework of labor policies and procedures that promote effective and efficient delivery of high-quality infrastructure projects while also supporting the economic recovery through strong employment opportunities for workers. As of this Recovery Plan update, VIDPW and VIWAPA infrastructure projects have been approved for stormwater infrastructure and waterline expansion and rehabilitation projects. GVI is coordinating closely with these agencies, who are intimately familiar with strong labor standards and are working with federal grant projects as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. As of June 30, 2025, the VIDPW and VIWAPA infrastructure projects are currently in progress and one VIWAPA project has been completed. As the projects progress, GVI will report on the specific labor standards being utilized. Use of Evidence For the purposes of the SLFRF, evidence-based refers to interventions with strong or moderate evidence: Strong evidence means that the evidence base can support causal conclusions for the specific program proposed by the applicant with the highest level of confidence. This consists of one or more well-designed and well-implemented experimental studies conducted on the proposed program with positive findings on one or more intended outcomes. Moderate evidence means that there is a reasonably developed evidence base that can support causal conclusions. Preliminary evidence means that the evidence base can support conclusions about the program’s contribution to observed outcomes. The GVI has generally not identified opportunities to incorporate evidence-based interventions and/or program evaluations into its SLFRF program; however, the GVI requires that subrecipients report on the financial results of their grants and quantify metrics that demonstrate the results and effectiveness of the programs. Evidence-based analysis is not always appropriate or efficient and the programs funded to date under the SLFRF do not lend themselves to formal analysis; however, the GVI will continue to look for opportunities to use evidence-based interventions when that analysis makes sense in the context of the program objectives. Performance Report All applicants are required to complete and submit an initial report and then monthly thereafter for each approved project. The purpose of the Monthly Report is to: 1. Collect the data required for Treasury Reporting 2. Facilitate monitoring of the project 3. Measure performance of the project The monthly report requests an update on the expenditures and contracts, activities completed, activities planned and gathers specific programmatic reporting requirements. In addition, a summary of all project costs and supporting documentation and summary of all past, current, and planned procurements and supporting documentation is requested to be provided. These monthly reports are key to GVI’s monitoring processes and failure to submit monthly reports may result in penalties such as return of funds or holds on future funding until requirements are met. Additional aspects of the GVI’s approach to performance management include: 18  Following up with applicants to submit their monthly reports and supporting documentation in a timely manner.  For active projects, tracking that the applicants are actively registered on SAM.gov and on project status to ensure that the projects are progressing and can complete and spend the funding by the December 31, 2026 deadline.  Selecting projects to conduct a detailed monitoring review which includes an in-depth review of the project’s expenditure and procurement documentation to ensure that costs incurred are adequately documented and are within the scope of the project. Selection of projects is based on project risk, status, documentation and/or project complexity, project size and applicant type.  Conducting physical site inspections based on scope of the project and monitoring level. The GVI continues to work with subrecipients on the status, progress, and performance of its SLFRF projects. Since the 2024 Recovery Plan was submitted, the remaining $79 million dollars of ARPA SLFRF funding was obligated. In the upcoming months, the GVI will continue to monitor active projects and close out completed projects. The Project Inventory section details the key performance indicators for each approved SLFRF project. 19 Appendix A – Budget by Expenditure Category Expenditure Category Budget Amount 1: Public Health $ 48,026,177 Communication / Dissemination of Public Health Information 1,325,294 Community Violence Interventions 539,310 COVID-19 Task Force 1,562,044 Enhancing Healthcare Capacity 4,178,912 Mental Health Services - Community-Based Programs 395,000 Other Public Health Services 13,292,879 Physical Plant Improvements 77,295 PPE 261,000 Prevention in Congregate Settings 3,540,248 Public Health Services 279,243 Territorial Crime Initiatives 16,544,781 Testing 873,750 Vaccination Programs 4,927,901 Ventilation 228,520 2: Negative Economic Impacts $ 77,554,220 Affordable Housing 8,300,000 Aid to Fixed Income Households 13,563,000 Aid to Households & Communities – Addressing Educational Disparities 350,000 Aid to Households & Communities - Community Spaces 1,985,550 Aid to Households & Communities - Health & Wellness Program 140,000 Aid to Households & Communities - Improving Community Accessibility 11,894,321 Aid to Households & Communities – Medical Facilities 1,981,293 Aid to Households & Communities - Senior Assistance 311,200 Aid to Travel, Tourism & Hospitality 17,100,030 Household Assistance: Addressing COVID-19 Impacts on Utility Costs 6,522,056 Job Training Assistance - Formerly Incarcerated Individuals 500,000 Job Training Assistance - Subsidized Programs 855,000 Job Training Assistance - Workforce Training 5,671,768 Small Business Program & PNPs 7,618,349 Supportive Housing for Homelessness 761,651 3: Public Health-Negative Economic Impact: Public Sector Capacity $ 16,748,450 Clinical Incentives 5,520,000 Cost of Living Analysis 150,000 Covid-related Court Backlogs 972,315 Public Sector Payroll 7,242,480 Technology Improvements 2,863,655 4: Premium Pay $ 32,431,786 Government 13,040,286 Private Sector 19,391,500 5: Infrastructure $ 19,335,000 Clean Water: Stormwater 18,000,000 Drinking Water: Transmission & Distribution 1,335,000 20 Expenditure Category Budget Amount 6: Revenue Replacement $ 345,888,939 Revenue Replacement 345,888,939 7: Administrative $ 7,192,312 Administrative 7,192,312 Total $ 547,176,884 21 Appendix B – Other Federal Recovery Funds Below is a listing of other ARPA grants that the Territory has either received or requested.  Adult Protective Services  Child Care Stabilization Grants  Congregate Meals  Crisis Response Workforce  Emergency Rental Assistance  Epidemiology and Lab Capacity for School Testing  Expand Genomic Sequencing  Family Caregivers  FTA Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Persons with Disabilities  FTA Urbanized Area Formula  Head Start  Home-Delivered Meals  Homeowner Assistance Fund  Institute of Museum and Library Services - States  Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund  Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program  Low Income Household Water Assistance Program  Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting  Mental Health Block Grant  National Endowment for the Arts  Pediatric Mental Health Care Access  Preventive Services  Public Health Laboratory Preparedness  Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 3-year State Admin Expense Grants  Supportive Services  Title VII Ombudsman 22 Appendix C – Project Inventory ARPA State & Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) 2025 Recovery Plan Project Inventory Project Expenditure Category Project ID Project Name Funding Amount Project Overview Anticipated Project Start Date 1 Anticipated Project End Date 1 Performance Report Additional Reporting Requirements 1.6 Medical Expenses (including Alternative Care Facilities)^ 000001 Dialysis Unit 2,106,712.46 $ • Project Description: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for diabetes management as patients with diabetes are at high risk for severe illness and death if infected with COVID-19.
