Hurricanes Helene and Milton
Overview of Allocation
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) directly awarded Pinellas County funding to support long‐term recovery efforts following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These funds are designated to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households and communities. Each CDBG-DR activity must address a disaster-related impact (direct or indirect), be a CDBG eligible activity, and meet a CDBG national objective.
$813,783,000
Total Pinellas County CDBG-DR Direct Allocation
CDBG-DR funding supports disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic revitalization and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed areas, according to HUD. These funds are designated to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households and communities.
No program allocations have been made at this time.
Pinellas County will announce opportunities for public input on developing an action plan for these funds in the near future. Identifying how to best use the funds and starting programs to distribute them is expected to take several months. Stay tuned for more information.
