Introduction to HUD’s CDBG-DR Program
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Community Development and Block Grant program for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) allows HUD to help communities and neighborhoods recover from Presidentially-declared disasters. These grants are especially intended to help low-income areas that might not otherwise recover due to limited resources. CDBG-DR grants can help rebuild affected areas and provide crucial seed money to start the recovery process.
