Opportunity Summary:
The National Disaster Resilience Competition (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 29) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund high-impact, resilient disaster recovery projects through Community Development Block Grant - National Disaster Resilience (CDBG NDR) resources. At its core, the competition is designed to help communities move beyond simply repairing damage after major disasters and instead invest in recovery projects that reduce future risk, strengthen long-term resilience, and support safer, more sustainable housing and community development outcomes. The selection criteria are shaped by two major policy frameworks: the Presidents Climate Action Plan (CAP), which emphasizes climate preparedness and risk reduction, and the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Strategy, which promoted smarter rebuilding and resilience improvements following Sandy.
Funding under this opportunity is substantial. HUD estimated total available funding at $999,108,000, with individual awards ranging from a minimum (award floor) of $1,000,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $500,000,000. HUD anticipated making roughly 67 awards. The program falls under the Housing funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 14.272 (National Disaster Resilience Competition). Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of funding, though leveraging other funds is often a strength in competitive grant programs.
Eligibility is limited and specifically targeted. Applicants must already be CDBG grantees, which means they are state or local governments that have existing experience with CDBG program rules and administration. Eligible applicants for the main tranche of funding (about $820 million) are specific state and local governments that experienced a Qualified Disaster during the 2011 to 2013 period, as defined in the competition materials. A smaller, additional set-aside (about $181 million) is reserved for unmet recovery needs tied to Hurricane Sandy and Tropical Storms Irene and Lee, and only New Jersey, New York, and New York City are eligible for that set-aside. The District of Columbia appears among eligible state-level applicants because it is not within a state that could otherwise apply; however, any funding to D.C. would be administered under the entitlement grantee framework in 24 CFR part 570, as modified by the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly ineligible.
Because the applicants are assumed to already understand baseline CDBG requirements, the NOFA emphasizes special rules and adjustments that apply specifically to CDBG NDR funds. Applicants are directed to closely review the NOFA Authority section and Attachment A, which lays out post-award requirements. A complete application must not only propose a compelling resilience-focused recovery project, but also demonstrate compliance with these added requirements and any modified CDBG rules that HUD applies to this disaster resilience funding stream.
Key administrative details reflect the historical timeline of the competition. The opportunity was posted on September 17, 2014, with an original closing date of March 16, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of March 27, 2015. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on April 10, 2015. Applicants seeking the full announcement and related materials were directed to HUDs grants portal at http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUDsrc/programoffices/administration/grants/fundsavail, and a point of contact was listed for access issues (Jessie Handforth Kome, Grants Policy).
In practical terms, this competition is best understood as a large-scale HUD initiative to reward well-justified, forward-looking disaster recovery investments by states and local governments that had already been hit by major disasters in 2011 to 2013. Rather than funding routine repairs, the intent is to support projects that integrate resilience and climate risk considerations into recovery, aligning rebuilding decisions with federal resilience priorities and lessons learned from major events like Hurricane Sandy.
