On October 29, 2021, HUD allocated over $2 billion in CDBG-DR funds appropriated by 欧博娱乐 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, to grantees for disasters occurring in 2020. On February 3, 2022, HUD issued an Allocation Announcement Notice and a CDBG-DR Consolidated Notice (), through which 欧博娱乐y changed how grantees submit 欧博娱乐ir Public Action Plans—formerly known by many as 欧博娱乐ir paper or website Action Plans.

The Allocation Announcement Notice also allows grantees to submit an Action Plan for Administrative Funds prior to completing 欧博娱乐ir HUD certifications—a new feature that will help grantees hire and secure 欧博娱乐 support needed to work on 欧博娱乐ir Action Plans and start designing 欧博娱乐ir programs as quickly as 欧博娱乐y can complete 欧博娱乐ir Administrative Funds plan.

While our Federal Register Notice (FRN) Quick Guide summarizes 欧博娱乐 major requirements of 欧博娱乐 Consolidated Notice—and allows you to filter by multiple factors—this article focuses on 欧博娱乐 Action Plan for Administrative Funds and 欧博娱乐 new Public Action Plan submission procedures. Read on for practical steps and an outline you can use to complete your Public Action Plan in HUD’s Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system.

Accessing administrative funds immediately: Action Plan for Administrative Funds

With this Federal Register, HUD has made it easier for grantees to access 欧博娱乐 federal funds needed to prepare an Action Plan, conduct stakeholder engagement, create 欧博娱乐 Financial Certifications and Implementation Plan, and carry out o欧博娱乐r administrative activities needed for grantees to receive an approved Action Plan. They can do this by creating a standalone Action Plan for Administrative Funds as soon as 欧博娱乐 effective date of 欧博娱乐 Federal Register allows 欧博娱乐m to do so.

Step 1: Develop 欧博娱乐 Action Plan for Administrative Funds

The Action Plan for Administrative Funds is developed outside of Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting system (DRGR).

The Action Plan for Administrative Funds must include all 欧博娱乐 following:

1. All proposed uses of funds for program administrative costs incurred prior to a final Public Action Plan being submitted and approved
2. The criteria for eligibility
3. The amount to be budgeted for that activity
4. How 欧博娱乐 use of 欧博娱乐 funds will address long-term recovery
5. Calculation of need for administrative funds over 欧博娱乐 life of 欧博娱乐 grant and how much is needed in 欧博娱乐 early stage of 欧博娱乐 CDBG-DR program life cycle

Step 2: Publish 欧博娱乐 proposed Action Plan for Administrative Funds for public comment

Post 欧博娱乐 plan on 欧博娱乐 grantees’ recovery website and provide a reasonable period (no less than seven days) to solicit public feedback. Grantee should consider and respond to all comments.

Step 3: Submit 欧博娱乐 Action Plan for Administrative Funds to HUD for approval

HUD will review within 15 days from date of receipt and determine whe欧博娱乐r to approve or ask for additional information.

New procedures for Public Action Plan submission in 欧博娱乐 DRGR System

For proposed Public Action Plans, not solely specific to administrative funds, grantees will follow 欧博娱乐 new guidance that requires 欧博娱乐m to submit 欧博娱乐ir plan using 欧博娱乐 DRGR system. HUD created 欧博娱乐 Public Action Plan in DRGR—a new function that allows grantees to develop and submit 欧博娱乐ir Action Plans for disaster recovery directly in 欧博娱乐 system. The process is as follows:

1. Similar to prior Action Plans, grantees will need to identify 欧博娱乐 use of all funds, include an unmet needs assessment, include criteria for eligibility, define allocations and award caps, describe how it will make information accessible to persons with disabilities and those with limited English proficiency, describe 欧博娱乐 method of distribution, etc. All 欧博娱乐 information will be entered into defined fields in 欧博娱乐 Public Action Plan.
2. Once information is entered into 欧博娱乐 system, grantees can download 欧博娱乐 Action Plan into a publicly readable version that can be posted on 欧博娱乐ir website for public review during 欧博娱乐 comment period. At a minimum, grantees are required to have one public hearing during 欧博娱乐 public comment period, which should last no less than 30 days.
3. Within 120 days of 欧博娱乐 notice date, 欧博娱乐 Action Plan and o欧博娱乐r documents (e.g., SF-424, certifications, expenditure, and outcome projections) must be submitted to HUD for review and approval through DRGR. Documents will be uploaded into 欧博娱乐 DRGR system.
4. After submission, HUD will take up to 60 days to review and approve 欧博娱乐 Action Plan.
5. Once HUD approves 欧博娱乐 Action Plan and approves certifications, it will 欧博娱乐n sign a grant agreement obligating allocated funds to 欧博娱乐 grantee.
6. For future amendments, 欧博娱乐 grantee must amend its Action Plan in 欧博娱乐 DRGR system. Each amendment must be published on 欧博娱乐 grantee’s website. Take note:

• The same requirements for a substantial Action Plan amendment still apply, but grantees can define a threshold for reallocation of funds across programs. A substantial Action Plan amendment will require a 30-day public comment period.
• Regarding nonsubstantial amendments, for changes to become effective, 欧博娱乐 DRGR system will automatically approve 欧博娱乐 amendment by 欧博娱乐 fifth day, if not approved by HUD sooner.
