CDBG Disaster Recovery Overview U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Goals for today: Explain the CDBG disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) process Describe the roles of HUD and grantees Illustrate eligible uses of CDBG-DR funds Discuss waivers and resources. Welcome

CDBG-DR Grantees Total of 44 CDBG-DR grantees 31 states 13 local governments Total of $30.1 Billion HUD Management of CDBG-DR HUD HQ manages larger grantees (LA, MS, TX, NY, IA, FL). All other grantees managed by respective HUD CPD Field Office Funding and Management Overview

1. The Process

After a disaster is Presidentially-Declared… Administers Directly and/or Distributes Congress HUD Local Gov’t Local Agency State State Agency Approves Appropriation 1.Calculates & announces allocations 2.Publishes a Notice in the Federal Register 3.Awards funds

Why HUD? Past practice Flexibility of the CDBG program – Regular program – Waivers & alternative requirements Lack of a better recovery vehicle

Keep in mind… No annual appropriation for CDBG disaster recovery Statutory authority is via individual supplemental appropriations Result? No regulations specific to disaster recovery

2. Roles & Responsibilities

HUD Role & Responsibility Review action plans and obligate funds Provide grantees with guidance and technical assistance Monitoring and oversight to ensure performance and compliance

Grantee Role & Responsibility Establish internal controls to ensure performance and compliance; monitor subrecipients for same. Provide technical assistance to subgrantees and subrecipients Review project applications to ensure that all activities are eligible Ensure that activities are compliant with all other requirements such as Section 3 and affirmatively furthering fair housing Track progress to ensure timely recovery

Action Plan Process Grantee Creates, publishes & submits action plan (on paper and in DRGR) HUD Reviews and accepts plan Grantee Implements activities and draws funds

3. Eligible Uses of Funds

The Appropriation Laws Funds must be used for: “… necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, and restoration of infrastructure, housing, and economic revitalization…”

What does this mean? In the context of CDBG disaster recovery, this means that each activity must: 1.address a disaster-related impact (direct or indirect) in a Presidentially-declared county for the covered disaster, 2.be a CDBG eligible activity (according to regs and waivers) 3.meet a national objective

“Recovery” Activities Disaster-related activities are those that are able to demonstrate a logical connection between the impacts of the covered disaster and the activity’s contribution to community recovery. Examples: – rebuilding homes and infrastructure damaged by the disaster – providing assistance to affected business owners

Housing Activities that lead to restoring and improving the housing stock Examples: – new construction – rehabilitation/reconstruction – single family or multifamily – owner or rental

Restoration of Infrastructure Activities that rebuild or replace impacted public infrastructure Examples: – May obtain waiver for “buildings for the general conduct of government” – Schools – Health care facilities – Water & wastewater facilities

Economic Revitalization Activities that serve to address job losses, impacts to tax revenues, and impacts to businesses Examples: – Job training and workforce development – Loans and grants to businesses – Improvements to commercial/retail districts

Demonstrating a Tie to the Disaster The entity responsible for the activity must document how it is addressing a disaster-related impact and how it serves to restore housing, infrastructure, or the economy – no set formula or process – grantee has discretion to determine what documentation is sufficient

3. Ineligible Uses of Funds

Ineligible Activities Ways activities can be ineligible: 1.Does not respond to an identified disaster- related impact 2.Restriction(s) in the appropriation laws 3.Activity is ineligible per the CDBG regulations (and a waiver has not been granted) 4.Fails to meet a national objective

4. Waivers and Resources

Waivers Per the appropriation laws: the Secretary may waive, or specify alternative requirements for, any provision of any statute or regulation that the Secretary administers in connection with the obligation by the Secretary or the use by the recipient of these funds or guarantees (except for requirements related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, and the environment)…

Waivers (cont.) …upon a request by the grantee explaining why such waiver is required to facilitate the use of such funds or guarantees, if the Secretary finds that such waiver would not be inconsistent with the overall purpose of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974

Waivers (cont.) HUD cannot waive the requirement of the appropriation law that funds be used for necessary expenses related to the disaster.
