Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Community Resource and Constituent Service Guide

Our state and nation are facing the worst economic crisis in generations. 5 million jobs have been lost since the start of the Recession, the financial crisis has depleted retirement and savings accounts, credit is frozen for businesses and consumers, and our neighborhoods have been hard hit by the foreclosure crisis.

The President approved the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act as part of a vital effort to jumpstart the economy, create jobs, help workers hurt by the economy, and make key investments to transform the economy. Michigan is estimated to receive $18 billion through Recovery package programs.

We have prepared the Community Resource Guide to assist local communities and community organizations evaluate their participation in Recovery programs. Through this document we will also track the impact of Recovery funds in Michigan. It is important that there be strict oversight, accountability and transparency as the Recovery package is implemented.

We have also prepared Constituent Service Fact Sheets to assist individuals with the programs that might assist them directly. For example, there is a new program to provide a COBRA Health care subsidy to unemployed workers.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office if we may be of assistance. James Jackson is serving as our Economic Recovery Coordinator and he may be reached at 586-498-7122 or 248-968-2025
