Murray Wennerlund Editor / Mentor CDBG-DR Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery. HUD CDBG-DR program will be the most difficult program you attempt to navigate due to the number of process, direction, guidance and program rules you must follow. For much of this section I will be discussion a delivery sequence change that will make recovery more time effective for disaster victims. Typically the CDBG-DR process starts one year after the declared disaster but can be granted one additional year making your recovery process with HUD 2 years from the actual disaster. CDBG-DR Laws, Regulations, and Federal Register Notices HUD Helping Your Community Recover After Disaster VideoThis video uses illustrations to describe how HUD helps communities recover after a disaster. HUD CDBG-DR Grant Calculator The 100% UNOFFICIAL HUD CDBG-DR Grant calculator. Technically it's not unofficial because HUD doesn't offer any type of CDBG-DR Grant Calculator for disaster victims. So it's officially the only online CDBG-DR Grant calculator designed to be used by CDBG-DR Grant recipients. If you are from any state other than Louisiana please email me a copy of your grant and send your states homeowners policy so I can add any variables your state may have added to their internal calculations. Thanks.
