CDBG-DR Allocation Announcement Notice Released
By: Steven Molinari, Policy Analyst
On January 15, HUD released the Allocation Announcement Notice (AAN) for public inspection, which announces more than $12 billion in Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) in new funds made available by the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2025. The funds are available for major disasters occurring in 2023 or 2024.
CDBG-DR grants are awarded directly to a State, local government, or Native Tribe at the discretion of HUD. The department awards funds to “most impacted and distressed” (MID) areas that are in need of disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic revitalization, and mitigation.
The announcement provides funding to 22 States,15 counties, 8 cities, and one U.S. territory. Each grantee must expend 100 percent of its allocation within six years of the date HUD signs the grant agreement, which may be extended by HUD for good cause.
The notice includes guidelines and information for the use of funds, submitting an action plan, applicable rules, statutes, waivers, and alternative requirements. To view these guidelines and the full list of allocations, see the full notice here.
