CDBG - DR Overview
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced it approved Colorado’s Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Action Plan. The Plan outlines how Colorado will distribute $62.8 million in grant dollars received from HUD for flood recovery programs. This is the first of three rounds of funding.

This grant will support recovery efforts in 18 Presidentially declared flood-impacted counties, with a majority of the funds going to the most impacted counties: Boulder, Larimer and Weld. Programs will focus on housing, public infrastructure, long-term planning and economic development and, as stipulated by the grant, 50 percent of the funds will be distributed to low- and moderate-income households.
Larimer County's Loveland Housing Authority has been awarded $4 million in CDBG-DR funds from this first round of funding. This funding may be used to help eligible primary resident homeowners with approved projects including home repairs and in some cases private roads and bridges through the Home Access Program. Additional programs for rental and down payment assistance are also available. There are strict eligibility requirements but applications are now being accepted. For additional information, please contact our case managers at 970-461-2222.
