I’m going to go way out on limb here and say no ...
P.J. O’Rourke referred to New Orleans as a ‘high crime drainage ditch’, and taking into account stories I’ve heard over the years, he wasn’t too far off the mark.
“Was that money well spent?”
This is just one city, New Orleans, which is easy to pick on. That question is obviously valid for the rest of the cities as well.
What may have happened to the money.
Richard Pryor’s new ride.

I’d hold any judgment until I saw & examined the legal & illegal bank accounts of all the Louisiana politicians and their friends...
$388,000,000 buys lots of booze, hoes, fancy cars, drugs, cruises, and palatial homes...
How much Covid money did your state, county, or city take?
Did they use it wisely?
What do they have to show for all that cash?
Hookers and ointments
LOL
It’s New Orleans.
What do her real estate holdings look like, I wonder?
Of course not.
My state’s whining about the end of ARPA money as well.
Well-spent?
In New Orleans?
Lady LaToya kept the city locked down longer than the rest of Louisiana. She even set up a snitch line to report neighbors for having more than the household on property.
The delayed reopening caused many businesses to close for good. Of course her big donors did okay.

LOL. It’s New Orleans. It’s millions of dollars. The answer can’t possibly be yes unless one thinks that sending out a bunch of money to cronies to pay themselves big salaries is a good use of money.
Don’t even have to read the article.
Nowhere in the article did they mention audits of the bank accounts of any politicians or NGOs.
