Due <strong>to</strong> additional federal grant monies made available <strong>to</strong> states by the American Recovery and<br />
Reinvestment Act <strong>of</strong> 2009, grant obligations <strong>to</strong> the fifty states increased 29 percent from $562<br />
billion in 2008 <strong>to</strong> $723 billion in 2009. Between 2008 and 2009, federal grant obligations <strong>to</strong> <strong>Florida</strong><br />
increased by $11.8 billion or 58 percent.<br />
The funding amount presented here reflects grant obligations <strong>to</strong> state and local governments as well<br />
as non-governmental entities while grant expenditures, which are addressed in greater detail in Part<br />
Three <strong>of</strong> this report, reflects actual outlays <strong>to</strong> state and local governments only. The amount <strong>of</strong> grant<br />
obligations <strong>to</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> in 2009 is $9.3 billion more than the amount <strong>of</strong> grant expenditures. Clearly,<br />
much <strong>of</strong> <strong>Florida</strong>’s increased grant obligations in 2009 were not expended that same year.<br />
