Tracking HUD stimulus dollars near you

Want to know where stimulus funds are going and for what? Of the various tracking tools out there, at least one is housing-related. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said today that it's added its information to a map tool created by the USDA.

You can mouse over states to see how much they're getting overall, or you can click on Maryland to look at the counties and Baltimore -- and then click again to see it down to a project level. In Baltimore, the total is $38.1 million spread between 16 projects or programs. (That's not tops in the state. Washington County in Western Maryland got almost $76 million, according to the site.)
