SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Title of Proposal: Tracking the Use of
Homeowner and Small Landlord
Disaster Assistance Grants.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: In
August, September, and October 2005,
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma
caused massive devastation in the Gulf
region. As of February 2006, FEMA
estimated that more than 300,000 homes
suffered major or severe damage from
the storm. In response to the widespread
destruction caused by these three
storms, Congress appropriated $19.7
billion in supplemental Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program funds for Gulf Coast disaster
recovery. Created in 1974, CDBG is one
of the oldest programs administered by
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), providing funding
to States, cities, and counties
nationwide to support neighborhood
revitalization, housing rehabilitation,
and economic development activities.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate
the role that supplemental CDBG
disaster recovery funding has played in
housing recovery in the three States
most affected by hurricanes Katrina and
Rita (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas)
and to identify the most important
factors affecting property owners’
willingness and ability to rebuild or
repair their storm-damaged properties.
The results of the study will help HUD
use current allocations of CDBG funds
to make better progress on Katrina and
Rita rebuilding efforts during FY 2011.
The study findings also will help the
Federal government respond more
effectively to future disasters.
