Data Sources: Disaster Impact and Unmet Needs Assessment Kit
Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) ProgramBefore receiving CDBG-DR funding, grantees and subgrantees must conduct an unmet needs assessment to prioritize their recovery projects and determine how their CDBG-DR funding will be allocated into housing, economic development, and infrastructure recovery programs. A comprehensive assessment requires compiling a large amount of data both from residents and from local, state, and federal sources.
In this appendix, HUD provides a list of federal, state, and local resources to help CDBG-DR grantees and subgrantees identify commonly available data on disaster damages to housing, infrastructure, and the economy.
