The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently allocated over $12 billion in Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding.
The urgency to address our nation’s housing crisis is greater than ever, as communities continue to recover from such as Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the Maui wildfires.
