This disaster recovery biannual report and subsequent annual reports will provide curated information regarding the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and its grantees’ use of the more than $109 billion in disaster recovery funds approved by Congress since the 2001 World Trade Center attack, as well as information on new or completed HUD OIG oversight work related to HUD’s disaster recovery program. HUD’s grantees use these essential funds to assist impacted communities and low- and moderate-income families in recovering from disasters and to mitigate damages from future disasters, including damage from water, wind, and fire. For our second report, we have benchmarked disaster recovery funding, grantee spending, and program income to help our stakeholders better understand HUD’s disaster recovery portfolio.
