Recovery Resource Guide
for the Gulf Coast
About This Publication
The Recovery Resource Guide for the Gulf Coastcontains brief descriptions and contact information for programs from government, non-government, and corporate sources that may be able to assist local communities as they recover from the impacts of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill. This guide presents an array of programs that may be of assistance during disaster recovery – depending upon the circumstances, community needs, and available resources. Since each community’s needs during recovery from the Gulf Oil Spill are unique, this guide includes a broad listing of resources that may be of use to some communities as they work to re-invigorate their economies and local natural resources after the oil spill. Additionally, eligibility requirements may be more comprehensive or more restrictive than is detailed in this guide. Please verify the applicability and eligibility requirements of a particular program with the sponsoringorganization.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
The summaries of federal programs include the notation “CFDA Number.” This refers to the program number found in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance,the compendium of financial and nonfinancial programs throughout the federal government that provide assistance or benefits to the American public. The CFDA includes a comprehensive list of federal, regional, and local office addresses and telephone numbers that are also a useful reference for obtaining program information. The CFDA can be obtained from the Internet and U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)’s free CFDA website at However, if interested in purchasing the CFDA from the Government Printing Office (GPO), contact the Superintendent of Documents at 202-512-1800 or toll free at 866-512-1800, or reach GPO's online bookstore at:

Economic Recovery: Community Development
Block Grants / Entitlement Grants
AGENCY: Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)/Community Planning and Development (CPD)
RECIPIENTS: Localities.
ACTIVATING MECHANISM: Previously approved Community Development Block Grants may be diverted to disaster response and recovery needs with the issuance of a waiver by the Secretary of HUD in the wake of a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
PURPOSE: To develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities – principally for low- to moderate-income persons.
ASSISTANCE PROVIDED: Formula grants to entitlement communities (metropolitan cities and urban counties). Disaster-related assistance is one of numerous areas in which community development-type activities may be eligible under the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program. The most appropriate disaster-related use of funds is for long-term recovery needs, such as: rehabilitating residential and commercial buildings; homeownership assistance, including down-payment assistance and interest rate subsidies; building new replacement housing; code enforcement; acquiring, constructing, or reconstructing public facilities and improvements; assistance to disaster-affected businesses to assist in retaining jobs; buying flood-prone properties and implementing other mitigation efforts to avoid repetitive loss; making relocation payments to displaced people and businesses; and other activities. Funds also may be used for emergency response activities – such as debris removal, clearance, and demolition. When a disaster occurs, a community may elect to amend its planned use of funds already awarded to use the funds instead for those disaster response and recovery activities that do not duplicate activities reimbursable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other available assistance. At least 70 percent of funds must be used for activities that principally benefit persons of low- and moderate-income; however, in the event of a Presidential Disaster Declaration, the Secretary of HUD may extend compliance of this requirement over a period of years to allow more flexibility in use of funds for response efforts.
COST-SHARING REQUIREMENTS: None.
ELIGIBILITY: Certain metropolitan cities and qualified urban counties. Grantees in designated major disaster areas may receive waivers of statutory and regulatory program requirements regarding the use of annual allocations of CDBG funds that recipients designate to address the damage. However, statutory requirements pertaining to nondiscrimination, fair housing, labor standards, environmental standards, and benefiting of persons of low- and moderate-income may not be waived. Additional grants are not available unless emergency supplemental CDBG funds are appropriated. HUD publishes Federal Register notices for the use of CDBG disaster recovery funds reflecting purposes and requirements of appropriations statutes, including waivers and alternative requirements to those of the annual CDBG allocations.
APPLICATION: An entitlement community must follow its citizen participation plan for substantial amendments to its action plan. HUD will review and respond quickly to questions about program requirements and requests for waivers. HUD notifies eligible governments receiving CDBG disaster recovery allocations that must then develop and submit an action plan for disaster recovery before receiving CDBG disaster recovery grants. The action plan must describe the needs, strategies, and projected uses of the disaster recovery funds.
