CDBG-DR Infrastructure Repair & Mitigation Program

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's (DEO) Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Repair Program was launched with $85,819,653 to fund infrastructure restoration and improvement projects in communities impacted by Hurricane Irma. The funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program to address unmet disaster recovery needs related to damage from Hurricane Irma. Eligible counties, municipalities, water management districts and water authorities located in the areas that experienced Hurricane Irma storm damage are eligible to apply for funding.      

Program guidelines will be made available at Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Repair along with the Request for Applications. Additionally, a recorded webinar is available. Interested parties may submit questions by email to rebuildflorida@deo.myflorida.com.
