Recovery Act Successes: Recognizing HUD's Partners in Maryland

Reaching out to our Maryland communities to stabilize economic conditions and help those harmed by the economic crisis, HUD's Recovery Act funds pumped $161.6 million into the State of Maryland to support three themes that align with the broader goals of the Recovery Act: (1) promoting energy efficiency and creating green jobs, (2) unlocking the credit markets and supporting shovel-ready projects, and (3) mitigating the effects of the economic crisis and preventing community decline. HUD's overriding objective in support of these goals is the creation and preservation of jobs.

In recognition of the noteworthy achievement of HUD partners "Getting it done and getting it done right," the Baltimore HUD Office has inducted those partners who have expended or drawn down 100% of their American Recovery Act funds into the Hall of Fame.

The honorees are as follows:

• City of Annapolis - CDBG-R 100%
• City of Frederick – CDBG-R 100%
• Howard County - CDBG-R 100%
• City of Crisfield Housing Authority – Capital Fund Formula – 100%
