Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grant funds are appropriated by Congress and allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to rebuild disaster-impacted areas and provide crucial seed money to start the long-term recovery process.
Purpose of CDBG-DR funds:
Focuses on long-term recovery efforts
Addresses unmet needs that other federal programs have not addressed yet
Funds supplement and fill remaining funding gaps
CDBG-DR cannot supplant other federal funds
