The Community Development Block Grant Disaster Response Program is a federal funding initiative aimed at supporting disaster response efforts. The grant is managed by the Commerce and Economic Opportunity department and seeks to aid communities in recovery and rebuilding post-disaster. There are no specific deadlines for application submissions, as the program remains generally open for a period of time, allowing flexibility for applicants responding to unforeseen disasters. Technical assistance sessions are not provided for this grant. Indirect costs are not allowed, with restrictions specifically citing exemption from indirect cost requirements of 2 C.F.R. Part 200 due to the unique nature of disaster response funding.
