About CDBG-DR Funds
These long-term recovery funds are used to help the most impacted and distressed areas recover. Funds are used to support long-term recovery needs that aren't fully covered by insurance, other federal programs (like FEMA), or private/non-profit assistance.
CDBG-DR is a flexible source of recovery funding that can be used for infrastructure, housing, economic revitalization, and other areas where there is still an unmet recovery need.
CDBG-DR funds must meet certain requirements:
• Projects must be recovery activities caused by the disaster events or they must help mitigate against future disasters
• 70% of the funds must be spent on projects that benefit low-to-moderate (LMI) individuals, households and/or areas. The remaining funds can be spent on meeting an urgent need..
