PURPOSE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT DISASTER RECOVERY (CDBG-DR) AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT MITIGATION (CDBG-MIT) GRANT FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS AND ALLOCATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) AS AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE I OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF CDBG-DR FUNDS IS TO REBUILD DISASTER-IMPACTED AREAS AND PROVIDE CRUCIAL SEED MONEY TO START THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY PROCESS. THESE FLEXIBLE GRANTS HELP CITIES, COUNTIES, INDIAN TRIBES, AND STATES RECOVER FROM PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS, ESPECIALLY IN LOW-INCOME AREAS, SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS. SINCE CDBG-DR ASSISTANCE MAY FUND A BROAD RANGE OF RECOVERY ACTIVITIES, HUD CAN HELP COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT RECOVER DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES.; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS RECEIVE CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT FUNDS FROM HUD TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES RECOVERING FROM A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTER. HUD ALLOCATES FUNDS BASED ON THE UNMET RECOVERY NEEDS OF EACH COMMUNITY. HUD ISSUES AN ALLOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT NOTICE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE LIST OF GRANTEES, ALLOCATIONS, AND ANY WAIVERS AND ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS. GRANTEES MAY USE THE FUNDS FOR DISASTER RELATED LONG-TERM RECOVERY, RESTORATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION, AND MITIGATION ACTIVITIES. ALL CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT ACTIVITIES MUST CLEARLY ADDRESS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT IMPACT OF THE DISASTER IN A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED AREA FOR THE COVERED DISASTER. EACH GRANTEE MUST DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN THAT OUTLINES HOW THE GRANTEE PLANS TO ALLOCATE FUNDING TO A COMBINATION OF RECOVERY PROGRAMS. EACH GRANTEE MUST MAKE THE DRAFT ACTION PLAN AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND FEEDBACK PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE PLAN TO HUD FOR REVIEW. ONCE APPROVED, THE ACTION PLAN SERVES AS THE BLUEPRINT FOR THE GRANTEE’S CDBG-DR PROGRAM. THE ACTION PLAN PROCESS IS OUTLINED IN THE APPLICABLE ALLOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT NOTICE.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: CDBG-DR FUNDS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN LONG-TERM DISASTER RECOVERY FOR COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: CDBG-DR FUNDS ARE INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS PER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS. CDBG-DR IS THE ONLY FEDERAL DISASTER RESOURCE THAT PRIORITIZES LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME MEANS A FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME LESS THAN THE SECTION 8 LOW INCOME LIMIT, WHICH IS GENERALLY 80 PERCENT OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. MOST ALLOCATIONS OF CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT FUNDS REQUIRE GRANTEES USE 70 PERCENT OF THE GRANT FUNDS TO BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, HOWEVER GRANTEES MUST REVIEW THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE GOVERNING THE FUNDS TO CONFIRM THE REQUIREMENTS OF EACH GRANT. OVERALL, CDBG-DR FUNDS SHOULD BE USED TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND/OR BUSINESSES SITUATED IN THE MOST IMPACTED AND DISTRESSED AREAS AFFECTED BY A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTER.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

THE MEASURABLE OUTCOME OF THIS GRANT IS THAT HUD WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK THE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS SPENT ON IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STRUCTURES, UNITS, COMMON AREAS, UTILITIES, AND OTHER ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR PUBLIC HOUSING CAPITAL FUNDS OF APPROXIMATELY $3.2 BILLION WILL BE PUT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT, MODERNIZATION, AND FINANCING OF NEARLY 1 MILLION PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS ACROSS ALL 50 STATES AND TERRITORIES. THE PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS ARE UPDATED TO BE DECENT, SAFE, SANITARY AND TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL HOUSING STANDARDS.

THESE FLEXIBLE GRANTS HELP CITIES, COUNTIES, INDIAN TRIBES, AND STATES RECOVER FROM PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS, ESPECIALLY IN LOW-INCOME AREAS, SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS. SINCE CDBG-DR ASSISTANCE MAY FUND A BROAD RANGE OF RECOVERY ACTIVITIES, HUD CAN HELP COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT RECOVER DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES.; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS RECEIVE CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT FUNDS FROM HUD TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES RECOVERING FROM A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTER. HUD ALLOCATES FUNDS BASED ON THE UNMET RECOVERY NEEDS OF EACH COMMUNITY. HUD ISSUES AN ALLOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT NOTICE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE LIST OF GRANTEES, ALLOCATIONS, AND ANY WAIVERS AND ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS. GRANTEES MAY USE THE FUNDS FOR DISASTER RELATED LONG-TERM RECOVERY, RESTORATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION, AND MITIGATION ACTIVITIES. ALL CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT ACTIVITIES MUST CLEARLY ADDRESS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT IMPACT OF THE DISASTER IN A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED AREA FOR THE COVERED DISASTER. EACH GRANTEE MUST DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN THAT OUTLINES HOW THE GRANTEE PLANS TO ALLOCATE FUNDING TO A COMBINATION OF RECOVERY PROGRAMS. EACH GRANTEE MUST MAKE THE DRAFT ACTION PLAN AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND FEEDBACK PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE PLAN TO HUD FOR REVIEW. ONCE APPROVED, THE ACTION PLAN SERVES AS THE BLUEPRINT FOR THE GRANTEE’S CDBG-DR PROGRAM. THE ACTION PLAN PROCESS IS OUTLINED IN THE APPLICABLE ALLOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT NOTICE.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: CDBG-DR FUNDS ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN LONG-TERM DISASTER RECOVERY FOR COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: CDBG-DR FUNDS ARE INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS PER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS.

LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME MEANS A FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME LESS THAN THE SECTION 8 LOW INCOME LIMIT, WHICH IS GENERALLY 80 PERCENT OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. MOST ALLOCATIONS OF CDBG-DR AND CDBG-MIT FUNDS REQUIRE GRANTEES USE 70 PERCENT OF THE GRANT FUNDS TO BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, HOWEVER GRANTEES MUST REVIEW THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE GOVERNING THE FUNDS TO CONFIRM THE REQUIREMENTS OF EACH GRANT. OVERALL, CDBG-DR FUNDS SHOULD BE USED TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND/OR BUSINESSES SITUATED IN THE MOST IMPACTED AND DISTRESSED AREAS AFFECTED BY A PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTER.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.
