Grants may be used interchangeably across qualifying disasters
What the document says“The Secretary is authorized to approve the use of grants under this section to be used interchangeably and without limitation for the same activities in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a declaration of another catastrophic major disaster that qualifies for assistance”
The new section 124 lets the Secretary approve using grants interchangeably and without limitation for the same activities in the most impacted and distressed areas of another qualifying catastrophic major disaster, or a disaster for which funds were allocated under the Community Development Fund heading before the Fund existed. The Secretary must set requirements to speed such use, and amounts repurposed that Congress had designated an emergency requirement keep that designation.
What the document actually says“The Secretary is authorized to approve the use of grants under this section to be used interchangeably and without limitation for the same activities in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a declaration of another catastrophic major disaster that qualifies for assistance”
The housing agency may let grant money be moved. It can go to the same kind of work after another qualifying disaster. There is no limit on that.
A place hit twice may have money left from the first time. This lets that money help with the second. The agency must set rules to make it quick.
