Amarillo Ledger ·
A plain-language summary of records on this site. Every figure is on the linked pages, with its source.
From FY2021 through FY2025, the City of Amarillo spent $244.2 million from federal awards, according to its single audit reports.
The largest steady program is Section 8 housing vouchers, $53.8 million over five years. Next comes $38.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) recovery funds, most of it, $27.7 million, spent in FY2022. Then the airport, transit and the state's clean water loan fund.
ARPA money has a hard deadline: it must be spent by December 31, 2026. Anything left goes back to Washington. That's why the City is trying to spend the last of it, such as the $49,500 Emma renewal staff brought to the council in October.
The latest single audit, for FY2025, found nine findings on federal programs and qualified its opinion on the Airport Improvement Program grants. In the four years before, the City had at most one.
