The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released two new Requests for Information:
- Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)
- Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT)
CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT funds focus on long-term recovery and resilience efforts, targeted to families with low and moderate incomes in the most impacted and distressed areas. HUD seeks feedback on how to simplify, modernize, and more equitably distribute critical disaster recovery funds. This call is a part of HUD’s newly published Climate Action Plan, which emphasizes equity and resilience in disaster recovery. Input received will inform policies that remove barriers and eliminate unnecessary administrative burden to provide better and quicker assistance to those affected.
