10. CDBG – Disaster Recovery
HUD provides flexible grants to help cities, counties, and States recover from Presidentially declared disasters, especially in low-income areas, subject to availability of supplemental appropriations. In response to Presidentially declared disasters, Congress may appropriate additional funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program as Disaster Recovery grants to rebuild the affected areas and provide crucial seed money to start the recovery process.

11. CDBG – DR Eligible Grantees
CDBG-DR funds are made available to states, units of general local governments, Indian tribes, and insular areas designated by the President of the United States as disaster areas. These communities must have significant unmet recovery needs and the capacity to carry out a disaster recovery program (usually these are governments that already receive HOME or CDBG allocations).

12. CDBG – DR Eligible Activities
Grantees may use CDBG-DR funds for recovery efforts involving housing, economic development, infrastructure and prevention of further damage to affected areas. Use of CDBG-DR funding cannot duplicate funding available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Small Business Administration, and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Examples of these activities include:
Buying damaged properties in a flood plain and relocating residents to safer areas;
Relocation payments for people and businesses displaced by the disaster;
Debris removal not covered by FEMA;
Rehabilitation of homes and buildings damaged by the disaster;
Buying, constructing, or rehabilitating public facilities such as streets, neighborhood centers, and water, sewer and drainage systems;

13. CDBG – DR Eligible Activities cont.
Code enforcement;
Homeownership activities such as down payment assistance, interest rate subsidies and loan guarantees for disaster victims;
Public services;
Helping businesses retain or create jobs in disaster impacted areas; and
Planning and administration costs (limited to no more than 20 percent of the grant).
