As a result of Hurricane Katrina and Wilma, Congress appropriated $11.5 billion of CDBG funding, in the Military Construction Appropriations and Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriation Act, to five states for disaster relief, long term recovery, and the restoration of infrastructure related to these storms.  Florida’s allocation from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (USHUD) is $82.9 million, of which approximately $16.1 million is scheduled for Miami-Dade County and its municipalities. CDBG funds may be used to undertake activities that meet identified needs for low-and moderate-income persons and/or low-and moderate-income areas.

The Action Plan requires applicants to utilize a minimum of seventy percent of these funds for the restoration of affordable housing.  CDBG Disaster Recovery Draft Action Plan  9MB Miami-Dade County in consultation with all the municipalities set up a review and prioritization process for the 2005 CDBG Disaster Recovery Initiative.
