DEFINITIONS, PURPOSE, AND LEGAL AUTHORITY Sample Clauses

DEFINITIONS, PURPOSE, AND LEGAL AUTHORITY. This CMA addresses essential data sharing in the cooperative operation of FEMA emergency sheltering and housing assistance programs and HUD assistance programs, including rental assistance programs and their Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG- DR) grants, including assistance for mitigation and electric power systems. HUD rental assistance programs include Public Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, Project Based Section 8, Section 202, and Section 811. These programs provide rental assistance to low-income renters. When impacted by a disaster, these tenants may be displaced and become eligible for FEMA assistance. This CMA supports data sharing between FEMA and HUD to quickly move families from FEMA assistance back to HUD assistance as well as prevent a risk of duplication of benefits. In response to Presidentially-declared disasters, Congress may appropriate additional funding under the Community Development Fund heading for the CDBG Program as disaster recovery grants to support recovery, mitigation, and related purposes that help to rebuild the affected areas and provide crucial seed money to start the recovery process particularly for low- and moderate- income persons. Since CDBG-DR assistance may fund a broad range of recovery and mitigation activities, HUD grants can help communities and neighborhoods that otherwise might not recover due to limited resources. Pursuant to section 312(a) of the Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Xxxxxxxx Act; Pub. L. No. 93-288, as amended), at 42 U.S.C. § 5155(a), FEMA and HUD may not provide duplicative financial assistance to individuals and households for the same disaster-related need. Pursuant to the Privacy Act’s section 552a(o)(1)(A) requirement, the purposes and legal authority for this computer matching program are described in Section II.B. and II.C. below. As described below, HUD will enter into agreements with its CDBG-DR grantees to use data to plan for the use of grant funds, conduct outreach to disaster-affected individuals, and to prevent the duplication of benefits.
