NOTICE OF AMENDMENT 2005 ACTION PLAN FOR CDBG DISASTER RECOVERY INITIATIVE
FLORIDA SMALL CITIES CDBG PROGRAM
In March 2005, the Department of Community Affairs (Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program) submitted an action plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that described how the state proposed to allocate $100,915,626 in disaster recovery funding. The funds were allocated by Congress to address disaster damages caused by the 2004 hurricanes. The funds targeted the areas hit hardest by the storms, and all awards to subgrantees have been made.
The Department is proposing to add language to the approved action plan that will allow it to reallocate unused funds and to use some technical assistance funding for planning related activities that are eligible under the CDBG program. The proposed amendment to the Action Plan is posted to the Departments website at: http://www.floridacommunitydevelopment.org/disasterrecover y.cfm.
The Department anticipates that the proposed amendment to the action plan will be submitted to HUD no later than June 1, 2006. Although this is not a major revision to the action plan, the Department will accept comments or questions about the amendment until May 25, 2006.
A copy of the amendment may be downloaded from the website or obtained by appearing in person at the agency headquarters or by email or calling:
