14.269
The overall CDBG program objective is to develop viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. CDBG DR program funds appropriated by P.L. 113-2 are for necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, and economic revitalization in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a major disaster declaration due to Hurricane Sandy and other eligible events in calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Through July 1, 2016, thirty four (34) CDBG DR grants totaling $14,181,892,000 have been allocated to local governments and states impacted by Hurricane Sandy and other qualifying events occurring in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Of those funds, HUD has obligated $8,132,569,820 (57% of the allocation) and grantees have drawn $5,612,368,443 (69% of the obligated amount) toward their recovery efforts. HUD projects an additional $500,000,000 will be obligated by September 30, 2016. Through the end of FY2016, CDBG DR grants totaling $14,181,892,000 had been allocated to local governments and state impacted by Hurricane Sandy and other qualifying events occurring in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Of those funds, HUD had obligated $8,757,761,836 (61.8% of the allocation) and grantees had drawn $6,080,472,357 (69.4% of the obligated amount) toward their recovery efforts.
By the end of the 2017 fiscal year, the entire appropriation ($14,181,892,000) had been fully obligated to the thirty four (34) CDBG DR grantees. Between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017 the grantees drew $2,091,950,652. Total expenditures through the end of the fiscal year were $8,172,423,009 (57.63% of the appropriation).
During FY18 grantees drew nearly $1.8 billion, bringing the total amount drawn as of September 30, 2018 to $9,956,589,366 (70.2% of the total appropriation).
During fiscal year 2019, grantees have drawn just over $1.1 billion (as of July 31, 2019). HUD expects total draws for FY19 to reach $1.5 billion, which would put the total amount drawn at nearly $11.5 billion by the end of the fiscal year (80.8% of the total appropriations).
Grantees are expected to continue expending grant funds toward their disaster recovery during Fiscal Year 2020. At the beginning of the fiscal year, HUD expects there to be a remaining balance of approximately $2.7 billion in grant funds. HUD anticipates grantees to expend approximately $1.3 billion of those funds during the 2020 fiscal year, a 13% decrease from the prior year, but still on track to meet the September 30, 2022 expenditure deadline for the appropriation.
