Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery
Community Development Block Grants - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) are implemented through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). DOLA is the designated State agency to manage and administer the funds. DOLA’s Division of Local Government is charged with coordinating the effective investment of CDBG-DR funds to further Colorado’s recovery for any potential presidentially-declared disaster areas.
DLG acts as the central coordinator in the implementation of multiple disaster recovery programs through our partner agencies which include, but are not limited to, DOLA’s Division of Housing (DOH), DPS’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM), DOLA’s Community Resilience Office (CRO), the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA), and local governments throughout the state.
