  ARRA

  American Recovery and

  Reinvestment Act of 2009


The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub.L. 111-5) is an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009.  The goal of the ARRA is to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the wake of the economic downturn. A key aspect of the ARRA is increasing jobs throughout the U.S.  As the planning, coordinating and monitoring workforce development agency for the Milwaukee area, MAWIB follows guidelines developed by the federal and state agencies that distribute funds.  Those guidelines have not changed with the ARRA.  The programs described in this website reflect the funding and guidelines established by ARRA.  Currently, funds for workforce development are being distributed based on already established programs and formulas. For example, stimulus funding has allowed us to greatly increase the number of youths we can serve in our Summer Youth Employment program.

In addition, MAWIB is seeking other special funds and working to bring other opportunities to the Milwaukee workforce. If these are funded, information regarding availability and applications will be accessible on this website.
