Recovery Act of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama
on February 17th, 2009.
It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save
millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the
21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and
includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational
opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest
need.
The Recovery Act includes $13.61 billion for projects and programs administered by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development, nearly 75 percent of which was allocated to state and local recipients on February 25,
2009 – only eight days after President Obama signed the Act into law.
Program plans for each of HUD’s ARRA programs were submitted to OMB on May 15, 2009. They provide details on
program objective and delivery schedules, approved activities, award types and amounts, measures, monitoring and
evaluation plans, and potential barriers to effective implementation.
"Because of the steps we took, there are about two million Americans working right now who would otherwise be unemployed...The plan that has made all of this possible, from the tax cuts to the jobs, is the Recovery Act."
