A CDBG-DR Action Plan serves as the master guidance document for the CDBG-DR program, describing the grantee’s unmet needs analysis, strategic priorities, and its plan for allocating funds to housing, economic development, infrastructure, and services programs. Grantees can also draft amendments to the Plan to address evolving recovery needs, and can request waivers from HUD to circumvent or modify certain CDBG-DR program requirements. Waivers will be reflected in the Action Plan and provide communities with flexibility to make adjustments that range from how CDBG-DR funding is distributed and what it can be spent on, to reporting and public hearing requirements.
