The community development block grants are meant to be focused on helping the recovery of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and improving their resilience to future disasters and climate impacts, said HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge. This includes plans that aim to restore housing and infrastructure and spark economic development.
“Communities will have greater resources and focus to ensure equitable outcomes for underserved households that too often bear the brunt of climate-related disasters,” she said in a statement. “With these funds, we are sending a strong message that equity and forward-looking mitigation are priorities of HUD and this administration’s disaster recovery work.”
