CDBG Disaster Recovery Program (CDBG-DR)

TNECD occasionally receives funding from HUD related to major presidentially-declared disasters. Congress will allocate disaster funding under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act as needed. These funding bills along with HUD dictate the programmatic requirements, eligibility, waivers of the covered allocations. Generally, CDBG-DR funding must be used for activities which tie back to the impacts of the qualifying disaster(s). As the funding becomes available, TNECD will notify eligible communities. 

CDBG-DR Citizen Participation Plan

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) has developed a standalone Citizen Participation Plan for the CDBG-DR program.  Below is a link to the plan.
