Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Grant

 

OVERVIEW

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded the City of Detroit over $95.2 million in Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) to support long-term recovery and mitigation efforts following severe storms and flooding in 2021.

This allocation is designed to address needs that remain after all other assistance has been exhausted. The Action Plan details how funds will be allocated to address remaining unmet need in the City of Detroit.

CDBG-DR GRANT BACKGROUND

The Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grant is designed to provide funding to communities affected by major disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. The purpose of the program is to help communities recover and rebuild by providing financial assistance for a variety of projects such as housing rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and economic development.

The funds are typically administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are awarded to states, territories, and local governments that have been declared eligible for disaster assistance. The program is meant to complement other federal disaster recovery programs and fill in gaps where those programs don't provide sufficient assistance.
