CDBG-DR LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICES

CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 , as amended. Public Laws are the appropriations acts that provide funding for each disaster. In addition to any requirements cited in the appropriations acts, the CDBG regulations in 24 CFR 570 apply to CDBG-DR funds. However, CDBG-DR appropriations generally grant HUD broad authority to issue waivers and alternative requirements, which are identified through the following mechanisms:

  • Allocation Announcement Notice (AAN) : HUD announces allocations to grantees through the publication of the AAN. The AAN outlines requirements from the specific Public Law(s) providing the funds, and any additional waivers HUD has granted for that specific allocation.
  • OMNI Notice ("OMNI") : HUD grants additional waivers and alternative requirements, and provides clarification and/or corrections to specific grantees or an entire grantee disaster class through the publication of an OMNI. OMNIs can also change the requirements of a previously published AAN or OMNI to help support grantees with the implementation of grant funds.
  • Memorandum: Recent Public Laws allow HUD to publish waivers, alternative requirements, and clarifications on its website rather than in a Federal Register Notice to expedite recovery needs. Therefore, OMNIs are not needed for grants with this flexibility. Currently, funds subject to HUD's Consolidated Notice (Disaster Events in 2020-2023) use memorandums.
  • CPD Notices: HUD provides additional implementation guidance on the CDBG-DR program through CPD Notices, a document issued by the Office of Community Planning and Development to clarify or inform on a specific topic. CPD Notices explain how the program regulations should be interpreted or applied. Please be advised that some CPD Notices replace previously published notices.
