摘要

On October 14, 2020, HUD and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published Notice CPD-20-10: Implementation Guidance for Use of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Funds as Non-Federal Cost Share for FEMA's Public Assistance Program. On January 3, 2020, FEMA and HUD signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines a series of actions intended to streamline the use of CDBG-DR funds to satisfy the cost-share requirements of the Public Assistance (PA) Program. This included developing a joint Implementation Guidance (Guidance) that outlines a flexible approach to using HUD CDBG-DR funding for the PA local cost-share requirements (flexible match).
