On Feb. 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) with the stated goals to “create jobs, restore economic growth, and strengthen America's middle class…” The Recovery Act mandates a significant level of transparency and accountability for those agencies that receive ARRA funds. This website was created to provide maximum transparency and the most current information on ARRA funding received by the County of Los Angeles. Below you will find information on the help that is available to our constituents and the regional efforts underway to respond to the current economic downturn.
