Program Description and Requirements. A. Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery – Summary: This NOFA will award supplemental disaster recovery CDBG funds competitively for resilient recovery activities. The Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (PL 113-2) included funds for disaster recovery from major disasters declared under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act (42 U.S.C. 4121 et seq.) in 2011, 2012, and 2013. HUD has not previously allocated such funds competitively, instead employing Federal agency data available for all eligible jurisdictions to allocate funds applying formula methods. At this time, HUD has allocated approximately $14 billion, by formula and to Rebuild by Design projects, and has determined that the data available for the earliest disasters, in particular, does not credibly represent additional current unmet needs (beyond those for which HUD has already allocated funding by formula) to support such a formula allocation method for the remaining funding. No other reasonably current data sources common to all possible eligible jurisdictions exist. Because the law directs that CDBG-DR assistance must flow to the most impacted and distressed areas with unmet recovery and revitalization needs related to the effects of a covered major disaster, HUD decided that a competition framework would work best to elicit the data needed to inform allocation choices and ensure that the unmet disaster recovery and revitalization needs of communities around the country are appropriately considered. HUD has six goals for this competition. First, to fairly allocate remaining PL 113-2 CDBG disaster recovery funds. Second, to create multiple examples of local disaster recovery planning that applies science-based and forward-looking risk analysis to address recovery, resilience, and revitalization needs. Third, to leave a legacy of institutionalizing in as many states and local jurisdictions as possible the implementation of thoughtful, innovative, and resilient approaches to addressing future risks. Fourth, to provide resources to help communities plan and implement disaster recovery that makes them more resilient to future threats or hazards, including extreme weather events and climate change, while also improving quality of life for existing residents and making communities more resilient to economic stresses or other shocks. Fifth, to fully inform and engage community stakeholders about the current and projected impacts of climate change and to develop pathways to resilience based on sound scie...
