Route Fifty: States and localities hit in recent years by natural disasters like hurricanes, floods and wildfires learned Tuesday what share they would receive of a massive $27.9 billion allotment of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants.
The funding comes via the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery, or CDBG-DR, program. Included in the total sum is a first of its kind carveout of nearly $16 billion for "mitigation" projects. HUD said the grants announced Tuesday were the largest single amount of disaster recovery aid awarded in the agency's history.
