The 1.5B spent is misinformation. The money has been _allocated_ but it hasn't been _spent_ yet and that's because it's taken a very long time for _States_ to come up with proposals that can be funded. It's just taken much too long to happen, but that's at the state level (the Fed Gov is allocating the money but the States are managing it).
