On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ("ARRA") was signed into law by President Barack Obama, initiating an unparalleled $787 billion stimulus to the national economy through new spending and tax cuts. Recovery and Reinvestment funds are requested through grant application cycles, awarded by the Federal Government, invested locally, and tracked nationwide. To obtain and disburse funds, Chicago has created these strategy teams listed above.

The teams work as part of the Chicago Recovery Partnership. The Chicago Recovery Partnership has set three goals to define its purpose:  

  • Promote transparency of decision making, funding, and results
  • Support nonprofits in implementing stimulus programs
  • Leave a sustainable, lasting legacy that continues to improve the quality of life for all Chicagoans
