Disaster recovery block grants are authorized from the Fund
What the document says“The Secretary is authorized to make community development block grant disaster recovery grants from the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund established under section 504(c) of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act”
The new section 124 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorizes the Secretary to make community development block grant disaster recovery grants from the Fund for necessary expenses of relief, long-term recovery, restoring housing and infrastructure, economic revitalization, and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed areas after a catastrophic major disaster. Grants go to States, units of general local government, and Indian tribes based on capacity and concentration of damage, and are not counted in the ordinary section 106 formula allocations.
What the document actually says“The Secretary is authorized to make community development block grant disaster recovery grants from the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund established under section 504(c) of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act”
The housing agency may make disaster recovery grants. The money comes from the new fund set up by this law.
The grants go to states, towns, and tribes. Who gets one turns on damage and on ability to run the money. They do not change the ordinary block grant shares.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
