The Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force launched the Rebuild By Design (RBD) competition in June 2013. In June 2014, HUD announced the award of $930M to seven winning ideas. Each winning idea comprised of multiple phases, which collectively represent a master plan for the area of focus. The awards dedicated to the winning designs are provided by HUD to assist in the implementation of the first phase of each master plan. The seven winning ideas are located in New Jersey, New York State, New York City, and Connecticut. Since the award, each grantee has worked to implement the first phase of the seven winning ideas. Each grantee identified and funded a RBD project by September 2017 and must fully spend their RBD award by September 2022.
