INITIAL DATA SHARING AGREEMENT AND COMPUTER MATCHING AGREEMENT: Established Process for CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT Grantee’s Impact and Unmet Needs Assessments, Program Marketing, and Duplication of Benefits Analysis

    The longstanding data sharing agreement between FEMA with HUD and CDBG-DR grantees has been revised to address privacy-related issues identified in the applicable FEMA System of Records Notices (SORN). HUD worked with FEMA on a Computer Matching Agreement (CMA) to ensure that HUD grantees will get the latest Individual Assistance program data from FEMA in order to build out their impact and unmet needs assessment, market their programs to potentially impacted individuals, and complete their duplication of benefits analyses for individual benefits. This page contains the guidance, training, and templates that grantees can use to make data requests through HUD.
