CDBG Disaster Funding

The State of Arkansas has been awarded supplemental CDBG funds from two different appropriations to address the effects of five presidentially declared disasters in 2008.  The first round of funding for $25,042,358 closed in September of 2009.  Pre-applications under this first round were submitted by eligible cities and counties through the eight Planning & Development Districts in the state.  Those pre-applications are currently under review.

A second round of funding for $70,181,041 was released in the spring of 2010.  This round covers 71 of Arkansas's 75 counties.  Pre-applications for this round should be submitted directly to the Grants Management Division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission By August 16, 2010.

A part of the requirements of administering a disaster recovery program involves Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR). The QPR's can be seen by clicking here.
