Universal Notice Phase 1: Action Plan Requirements and Process Overview

The Action Plan is the community’s blueprint for how to match Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) recovery and mitigation funding with existing unmet needs. Grantees cannot execute their grant agreement without a HUD-approved action plan. This session will go over what an Action Plan is, how to develop one, and the timeline for completion.

On January 8, 2025, HUD published the “Universal Notice” (90 FR 1754). This Notice outlines the requirements for Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding after a qualifying presidential disaster declaration. It explains the steps, timelines, and any exceptions that will guide the use of these funds for disaster recovery. The goal of this webinar series is to assist CDBG-DR grantees with understanding the Universal Notice, an updated set of processes, procedures, timelines, waivers, and alternative requirements that HUD implements with each allocation of CDBG-DR funding. This webinar series is organized by phases to align with the organization of the Universal Notice.

Participants do not need to register in advance. To join the webinar, simply access the login page at the link above.
