Disaster Recovery Funding Application Now Open
The Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) announced the opening of the application process for $67,845,000 in Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding in response to the July 2023 floods. These funds will benefit communities most impacted from the 2023 floods in regions designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in consultation with state officials. Designated Most Impacted and Distressed (MID) areas include Lamoille, Washington, Caledonia, Orleans, Rutland, Windham, and Windsor counties.
The State of Vermont developed its CDBG-DR Action Plan through a public process this spring and the final plan was approved by HUD this week. ACCD is currently receiving and reviewing pre-applications, which are due by August 5. ACCD anticipates opening up the full application by late August, with full applications due by September 30. The first round of funding awards are anticipated to be made by the end of 2025.
More information, instructions, guidelines, and guidance on how to apply can be found on the CDBG - Disaster Recovery Webpage.
ACCD is currently providing technical assistance for prospective Disaster Recovery projects located within the HUD or State-Identified MID areas.
