ARRA

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was passed early in 2009 to jumpstart the economy. To date, ETCS has received more than $7.9 million for recovery efforts in Washtenaw County. This website will provide information on how that money is being spent. ETCS recovery funds fit under our two main service areas:

Workforce Development

• WIA Youth Programs/ Summer Youth Employment Program
  Provides eligible Washtenaw County youth ages 14-24 with summer employment opportunities.
• WIA Dislocated Worker Program
  Retrains individuals displaced from employment for high-growth, high-demand occupations.
• WIA Adult Programs
  Provides training, information, and employment resources to individuals seeking jobs.

Community Action

• Weatherization
  Provides eligible Washtenaw County residents with help installing energy-saving materials including insulation, weather-stripping, and caulking.
• Senior Nutrition Services
