Jacksonville CDBG-DR Disaster Recovery Housing Program

About This Program

After major disaster events, HUD awards CDBG-DR funds to Florida and the City of Jacksonville to repair disaster-damaged owner-occupied homes for low-to-moderate income residents. Past Jacksonville programs (Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Irma) provided construction services to households that could not be served by FEMA or insurance alone. Homeowners should register with FEMA first, then contact the Jacksonville HCDD to learn if a CDBG-DR program is active for their damage.

Only activated after presidentially declared disasters; register with FEMA (1-800-621-3362) before applying to CDBG-DR
