About Resilient SRQ and CDBG-DR Funding

Sarasota County expects to receive a $210,094,000 allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) to assist with recovery and mitigation efforts from 2024 storms Debby, Helene and Milton. 

​

CDBG-DR projects are “activities related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic revitalization and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed areas” and generally fall into the following categories: housing, restoration of infrastructure, and economic revitalization.

 

The county will develop projects and programs that are intended to best meet the unmet needs of Sarasota County with focus on supporting low-to-moderate income households. More information about CDBG-DR can be found on HUD’s website. 

​

The county is in the early planning stages and there will be several opportunities for individuals and organizations to provide input on the Action Plan development process. Updates will be posted on the website and sent in the program newsletter. Sign up to receive program and activity updates below.
