State of Ohio Federal Stimulus Initiative Submissions

This website provides information about the federal recovery funds available for Ohio. Please read the following information to understand how and where applications for funding should be directed.

How the distribution of federal recovery funds works:

  • The federal recovery act outlines more than 100 programs that will receive recovery funds. Most are existing programs at the federal, state or local level.
  • Each existing program has eligibility requirements established by federal or state law and rules. The federal recovery act and federal agency guidance add new eligibility criteria to be considered in awarding the funds.
  • Applicants for the funds apply to the federal government, the State of Ohio, or the designated local organization, depending on what the legislation directs.

Below are 4 types of funding available with 4 corresponding charts outlining the descriptions of projects to be funded.

1. Direct benefits to individuals:
