Appendix A: Allocation Methodology 

I. Allocations 

The Disaster Relief Supplemental 

Appropriations Act, 2025 (Pub. L. 118– 

158) (‘‘the 2025 Appropriations Act’’), 

approved on December 21, 2024, makes 

available $12,039,000,000 in new 

CDBG–DR funds. The 2025 

Appropriations Act also provides that 

HUD allocate any unobligated no-year 

balances remaining from Public Laws 

108–324, 109–148, 109–234, 110–252, 

110–329, 111–212, 112–55, and 113–2 

(the ‘‘Prior Appropriations Acts’’) for 

the same purposes as these new funds. 

The sum of all unobligated balances 

from these Prior Appropriations Acts is 

$31,701,000. This brings the total 

funding available for 2023 or 2024 

disasters to $12,070,701,000. 

These CDBG–DR funds are for 

necessary expenses for activities 

authorized under title I of the Housing 

and Community Development Act of 

1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) (HCDA) 

related to disaster relief, long-term 

recovery, restoration of infrastructure 

and housing, economic revitalization, 

and mitigation in the ‘‘most impacted 

and distressed’’ (MID) areas resulting 

from a qualifying major disaster that 

occurred in 2023 or 2024. The 2025 

Appropriations Act provides that 

$78,850,000 of these amounts will be 

made available for these specific 

purposes: $45,000,000 for salaries and 

expenses of the Office of Community 

Planning and Development, $1,850,000 

for HUD’s disaster recovery portal, 

$7,000,000 for the Office of Inspector 

General, and $25,000,000 for capacity 

building and technical assistance, 

leaving the remaining $11,991,851,000 

available for allocations to CDBG–DR 

grantees. 

Of the $11,991,851,000 made 

available, this notice announces 

$11,889,437,000 in CDBG–DR 

allocations for disasters occurring in 

2023 or 2024. HUD will allocate the 

remaining $102,414,000 of available 

funds under a separate Allocation 

Announcement Notice that provides 

plus-up funding for disasters that 

occurred in January 2023 for which 

HUD previously allocated funding in a 

Federal Register notice published on 

November 27, 2023 at 88 FR 82982. 

The 2025 Appropriations Act requires 

HUD to include with any final 

allocation for the total estimate of unmet 

need an additional 15 percent of that 

estimate for additional mitigation 

activities that reduce risk in the MID 

areas (see table 1). The 2025 

Appropriations Act provides that grants 

shall be awarded directly to a State, unit 

of general local government, or Indian 

Tribe at the discretion of the Secretary. 

Pursuant to the 2025 Appropriations 

Act, HUD has identified MID areas 

based on the best available data for all 

eligible affected areas. A detailed 

explanation of HUD’s allocation 

methodology is provided in appendix A 

of this notice. To comply with 

requirements that all funds are 

expended in MID areas, Little Rock, AR; 

Broward County, FL; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; 

Hillsborough County, FL; Lee County, 

FL; Manatee County, FL; Orange 

County, FL; Pasco County, FL; Pinellas 

County, FL; St. Petersburg, FL; Sarasota 

County, FL; Volusa County, FL; Guam; 

Maui County, HI; Chicago, IL; Cicero, IL; 

Cook County, IL; St. Clair County, IL; 

Detroit, MI; Wayne County, MI; 

Ashville, NC; Harris County, TX; 

Houston, TX; and Spokane County, WA 

must use 100 percent of the total funds 

allocated to address unmet disaster 

needs and mitigation activities that 

benefit the HUD-identified MID areas 

identified in the last column in table 2. 

All other grantees must use at least 80 

percent of their allocations to address 

unmet disaster needs or mitigation 

activities that benefit the HUDidentified MID areas, as identified in the 

last column of table 2. These grantees 

may use the remaining 20 percent of 

their allocation to address unmet 

disaster needs or mitigation activities in 

those areas that the grantee determines 

are ‘‘most impacted and distressed’’ 

within an area that received a 

Presidential major disaster declaration 

(i.e., grantee-identified MID areas) 

identified by the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) disaster 

numbers listed in column two of table 

1. However, these grantees are not 

precluded from spending 100 percent of 

their allocation to benefit the HUDidentified MID areas if they choose to do 

so. Detailed requirements related to MID 

areas are provided in section III.D.2 of 

the Universal Notice.

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 10 / Thursday, January 16, 2025 / Notices 4763 

nondiscrimination, labor standards, and 

the environment. The Universal Notice 

describes rules, statutes, waivers, and 

alternative requirements that apply to 

allocations governed by this notice. For 

each waiver and alternative requirement 

in the Universal Notice the Secretary 

has determined that good cause exists, 

and the waiver or alternative 

requirement is not inconsistent with the 

overall purpose of title I of the HCDA. 

The waivers and alternative 

requirements provide flexibility in 

program design and implementation to 

support full and swift recovery 

following eligible disasters, while 

ensuring that statutory requirements are 

met. 

Grantees may request additional 

waivers and alternative requirements 

from the Department as needed to 

address specific needs related to their 

recovery and mitigation activities. 

Grantees should work with the 

appropriate HUD CPD staff member to 

request any additional waivers or 

alternative requirements from HUD 

headquarters. The waivers and 

alternative requirements described

Department. 

V. Duration of Funding 

The Appropriations Act makes these 

funds available for obligation by HUD 

until expended. HUD waives the 

provisions at 24 CFR 570.494 and 24 

CFR 570.902 regarding timely 

distribution and expenditure of funds 

and establishes an alternative 

requirement providing that each grantee 

must expend 100 percent of its 

allocation within six years of the date 

HUD signs the grant agreement. HUD 

may extend the time period in this 

alternative requirement and associated 

grant period of performance 

administratively, if good cause for such 

an extension exists at that time, as 

requested by the grantee, and approved 

by HUD. When the period of 

performance has ended, HUD will close 

out the grant and any remaining funds 

not expended by the grantee on 

appropriate programmatic purposes will 

be recaptured by HUD.

Appendix A 

Allocation of CDBG–DR Funds to Most 

Impacted and Distressed Areas Due to 

Presidentially Declared Disasters Occurring 

in 2023 and 2024 

Background 

The Disaster Relief Supplemental 

Appropriations Act, 2025 (approved on 12/ 

21/2024) appropriated $12.039 billion for 

CDBG-Disaster Recovery funds (CDBG–DR) 

for disasters ‘‘that occurred in 2023 or 2024.’’ 

The law instructs HUD that the funds are ‘‘for 

the same purposes and under the same terms 

and conditions as funds appropriated under 

such heading in title VIII of the Disaster 

Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 

2022 (division B of Pub. L. 117–43).’’ 

The key statutory text related to the 

allocation in Public Law 117–43: 

‘‘. . . for necessary expenses for activities 

authorized under title I of the Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1974 (42 

U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) related to disaster relief, 

long-term recovery, restoration of 

infrastructure and housing, economic 

revitalization, and mitigation, in the most 

impacted and distressed areas resulting from 

a major disaster . . . Provided, That amounts 

made available under this heading in this Act 

shall be awarded directly to the State, unit 

of general local government, or Indian tribe 

(as such term is defined in section 102 of the 

Housing and Community Development Act of 

1974 (42 U.S.C. 5302)) at the discretion of the 

Secretary: Provided further, That the 

Secretary shall allocate, using the best 

available data, an amount equal to the total 

estimate for unmet needs for qualifying 

disasters under this heading in this Act: 

Provided further, That any final allocation for 

the total estimate for unmet need made 

available under the preceding proviso shall 

include an additional amount of 15 percent 

of such estimate for additional mitigation:’’ 

This methodology applies to allocations for 

disasters occurring on or after January 1, 

2023 and had been declared major disasters 

as of November 1, 2024. It reflects 

approximately $11.992 billion under the 

Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations 

Act, 2025 after factoring in additional 

repurposed amounts and funds for capacity 

building and HUD administrative costs. The 

key statutory text from the Disaster Relief 

Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2025 is: 

‘‘For an additional amount for 

‘‘Community Development Fund,’’ 

$12,039,000,000, to remain available until 

expended, for the same purposes and under 

the same terms and conditions as funds 

appropriated under such heading in title VIII 

of the Disaster Relief Supplemental 

Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117–43), 

. . . Provided, That the Secretary of Housing 

and Urban Development shall allocate all 

funds provided under this heading in this 

Act for the total estimate for unmet needs 

including additional mitigation for qualifying 

disasters and publish such allocations in the 

Federal Register no later than January 15, 

2025: . . . Provided further, That unobligated 

balances remaining as of the date of 

enactment of this Act included under 

Treasury Appropriation Fund Symbol 86 X 

0162 from Public Laws 108–324, 109–148, 

109–234, 110–252, 110–329, 111–212, 112– 

55, and 113–2 shall also be available for the 

purposes authorized under this heading in 

this Act (except that the amount for each setaside provided herein shall not be exceeded), 

notwithstanding the purposes for which such 

amounts were appropriated: Provided 

further, That of the amounts made available 

under this heading in this Act, $45,000,000 

shall be transferred to ‘‘Department of 

Housing and Urban Development— 

Management and Administration—Program 

Offices’’ for salaries and expenses of the 

Office of Community Planning and 

Development for necessary costs, including 

information technology costs, of 

administering and overseeing the obligation 

and expenditure of amounts made available 

for activities authorized under title I of the 

Housing and Community Development Act of 

1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) related to 

disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration 

of infrastructure and housing, economic 

revitalization, and mitigation in the most 

impacted and distressed areas resulting from 

a major disaster in this, prior, or future Acts 

(‘‘this, prior, 4 or future disaster Acts’’): 

Provided further, That of the amounts made 

available under this heading in this Act, 

$1,850,000 shall be transferred to 

‘‘Department of Housing and Urban 

Development—Information Technology 

Fund’’ for the disaster recovery data portal: 

Provided further, That of the amounts made 

available under this heading in this Act,

for necessary costs of overseeing and auditing 

amounts made available in this, prior, or 

future disaster Acts: Provided further, That of 

the amounts made available under this 

heading in this Act, $25,000,000 shall be 

made available for capacity building and 

technical assistance, including assistance on 

contracting and procurement processes, to 

support recipients of allocations from this, 

prior, or future disaster Acts:’’ 

Most Impacted and Distressed Areas 

As with prior CDBG–DR appropriations, 

HUD is not required to allocate funds for all 

major disasters occurring in the statutory 

timeframes. HUD is directed to use the funds 

‘‘in the most impacted and distressed areas.’’ 

HUD has implemented this directive by 

limiting CDBG–DR formula allocations to 

grantees with major disasters that meet these 

standards: 

(1) Individual and Households Program 

(IHP) designation. HUD has limited 

allocations to those disasters where the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) had determined the damage was 

sufficient to declare the disaster as eligible to 

receive IHP funding. 

(2) Concentrated damage. HUD has limited 

its estimate of serious unmet housing need to 

counties and zip codes with high levels of 

damage, collectively referred to as ‘‘most 

impacted areas.’’ For this allocation, HUD is 

defining most impacted areas as either most 

impacted counties—counties exceeding $10 

million in serious unmet housing needs—and 

most impacted Zip Codes—Zip Codes with 

$2 million or more of serious unmet housing 

needs. The calculation of serious unmet 

housing needs is described below. 

For disasters that meet the most impacted 

threshold described above, the unmet need 

allocations are based on the following factors 

summed together: 

(1) Repair estimates for seriously damaged 

owner-occupied units without insurance 

(with some exceptions) in most impacted 

areas after FEMA and Small Business 

Administration (SBA) repair grants or loans 

(2) Repair estimates for seriously damaged 

rental units occupied by very low-income 

renters in most impacted areas; 

(3) Repair and content loss estimates for 

small businesses with serious damage denied 

by SBA; and 

(4) The estimated local cost share for 

Public Assistance Category C to G projects. 

Methods for Estimating Serious Unmet 

Needs for Housing 

The data HUD uses to calculate unmet 

needs for 2023 and 2024 qualifying disasters 

come from the FEMA IHP data on housingunit damage as of November 20, 2024 and 

reflect disasters occurring in 2023 and 

declared on or before November 1, 2024. 

The core data on housing damage for both 

the unmet housing needs calculation and the 

concentrated damage are based on home 

inspection data for FEMA’s IHP and SBA’s 

disaster loan program. HUD calculates 

‘‘unmet housing needs’’ as the number of 

housing units with unmet needs times the 

estimated cost to repair those units less 

repair funds estimated to be provided by 

FEMA, SBA, and insurance. 

Each of the FEMA IHP inspected owner 

units are categorized by HUD into one of five 

categories: 

• Minor-Low: Less than $3,000 of FEMA 

inspected real property damage. 

• Minor-High: $3,000 to $7,999 of FEMA 

inspected real property damage 

• Major-Low: $8,000 to $14,999 of FEMA 

inspected real property damage and/or 1 to 

3.9 feet of flooding on the first floor; 

• Major-High: $15,000 to $28,800 of FEMA 

inspected real property damage and/or 4 to 

5.9 feet of flooding on the first floor. 

• Severe: Greater than $28,800 of FEMA 

inspected real property damage or 

determined destroyed and/or 6 or more feet 

of flooding on the first floor. 

When owner-occupied properties also have 

a personal property inspection or only have 

a personal property inspection, HUD reviews 

the personal property damage amounts such 

that if the personal property damage places 

the home into a higher need category over the 

real property assessment, the personal 

property amount is used. The personal 

property-based need categories for owneroccupied units are defined as follows: 

• Minor-Low: Less than $2,500 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage. 

• Minor-High: $2,500 to $3,499 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage. 

• Major-Low: $3,500 to $4,999 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 1 to 

3.9 feet of flooding on the first floor. 

• Major-High: $5,000 to $9,000 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 4 to 

5.9 feet of flooding on the first floor. 

• Severe: Greater than $9,000 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 

determined destroyed and/or 6 or more feet 

of flooding on the first floor. 

To meet the statutory requirement of ‘‘most 

impacted’’ in this legislative language, homes 

are determined to have a high level of 

damage if they have damage of ‘‘major-low’’ 

or higher. That is, they have a FEMA 

inspected real property damage of $8,000 or 

above, personal property damage $3,500 or 

above, or flooding 1 foot or above on the first 

floor. 

Furthermore, a homeowner with flooding 

outside the 1 percent risk flood hazard area 

is determined to have unmet needs if they 

reported damage and no flood insurance to 

cover that damage. For homeowners inside 

the 1 percent risk flood hazard area, 

homeowners without flood insurance with 

flood damage below the greater of national 

median or 120 percent of Area Median 

Income are determined to have unmet needs. 

For non-flood damage, homeowners without 

hazard insurance with incomes below the 

greater of national median or 120 percent of 

Area Median Income are included as having 

unmet needs. The unmet need categories for 

these types of homeowners are defined as 

above for real and personal property damage. 

FEMA IHP does not inspect rental units for 

real property damage so personal property 

damage is used as a proxy for unit damage. 

Each of the FEMA-inspected renter units are 

categorized by HUD into one of five 

categories: 

• Minor-Low: Less than $1,000 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage. 

• Minor-High: $1,000 to $1,999 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 

determination of ‘‘Moderate’’ damage by the 

FEMA inspector. 

• Major-Low: $2,000 to $3,499 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 1 to 

3.9 feet of flooding on the first floor or 

determination of ‘‘Major’’ damage by the 

FEMA inspector. 

• Major-High: $3,500 to $7,500 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 4 to 

5.9 feet of flooding on the first floor. 

• Severe: Greater than $7,500 of FEMA 

inspected personal property damage or 

determined destroyed and/or 6 or more feet 

of flooding on the first floor or determination 

of ‘‘Destroyed’’ by the FEMA inspector. 

To meet the statutory requirement of ‘‘most 

impacted’’ for rental properties, homes are 

determined to have a high level of damage if 

they have damage of ‘‘major-low’’ or higher. 

That is, they have a FEMA personal property 

damage assessment of $2,000 or greater or 

flooding 1 foot or above on the first floor. 

Furthermore, landlords are presumed to 

have adequate insurance coverage unless the 

unit is occupied by a renter with income less 

than the greater of the Federal poverty level 

or 50 percent of the area median income. 

Units occupied by a tenant with income less 

than the greater of the poverty level or 50 

percent of the area median income are used 

to calculate likely unmet needs for affordable 

rental housing. 

The average cost to fully repair a home for 

a specific disaster to code within each of the 

damage categories noted above is calculated 

using the median real property damage repair 

costs determined by the SBA for its disaster 

loan program based on a match comparing 

FEMA and SBA inspections by each of the 

FEMA damage categories described above. 

If there is a match of 20 or more SBA 

inspections to FEMA inspections for any 

damage category, the median damage 

estimate for the SBA properties is used less 

the estimated average FEMA IHP repair grant 

and average SBA disaster loan grant weighted 

on take-up rates, which are generally high for 

IHP and low and for SBA. Except that no 

matched multiplier can be less than the 25th 

percentile for all IHP eligible disasters 

combined in eligible disaster years at the 

time of the allocation calculation or more 

than the 75th percentile for all IHP eligible 

disasters combined with data available as of 

the allocation. 

If there is a match of fewer than 20 SBA 

inspections to FEMA inspections within 

individual damage categories for an 

individual disaster, these multipliers are 

used which are based on the 2020/2021 

disaster years:

Methods for Estimating Serious Unmet 

Economic Revitalization Needs 

Based on SBA disaster loans to businesses 

using data for 2023 and 2024 disasters from 

as of November 19, 2024, HUD calculates the 

median real estate and content loss by the 

following damage categories for each 

disaster: 

• Category 1: real estate + content loss = 

below $12,000 

• Category 2: real estate + content loss = 

$12,000–$29,999 

• Category 3: real estate + content loss = 

$30,000–$64,999 

• Category 4: real estate + content loss = 

$65,000–$149,999 

• Category 5: real estate + content loss = 

$150,000 and above 

For properties with real estate and content 

loss of $30,000 or more, HUD calculates the 

estimated amount of unmet needs for small 

businesses by multiplying the median 

damage estimates for the categories above by 

the number of small businesses denied an 

SBA loan, including those denied a loan 

prior to inspection due to inadequate credit 

or income (or a decision had not been made), 

under the assumption that damage among 

those denied at pre-inspection have the same 

distribution of damage as those denied after 

inspection. 

Because many of the larger disasters of 

2023 and 2024 occurred recently and 

business need data remain incomplete for 

many disasters, no disaster in 2023 or 2024 

receives for business unmet need less than 10 

percent of their unmet housing need. 

Methods for Estimating Unmet 

Infrastructure Needs 

To calculate 2024 unmet needs for 

infrastructure projects, HUD received FEMA 

cost estimates on November 20, 2024 of the 

expected local cost share to repair the 

permanent public infrastructure (Categories C 

to G) to their pre-storm condition. 

Because many of the larger disasters of 

2023 and 2024 occurred recently and 

infrastructure need data remain incomplete 

for many disasters, no disaster in 2023 or 

2024 receives for infrastructure unmet need 

of less than 10 percent of their unmet 

housing need. 

Disaster Level Allocation Calculation 

Once eligible entities are identified using 

the above criteria, the allocation to 

individual grantees represents their 

proportional share of the estimated unmet 

needs. For the formula allocation, HUD 

calculates total unmet recovery needs for 

eligible disasters as the aggregate of: 

• Serious unmet housing needs in most 

impacted and distressed areas; 

• Serious unmet business needs; and 

• Unmet infrastructure need. 

Mitigation is calculated as 15 percent of the 

unmet need calculation. Both unmet needs 

and mitigation grant amounts are rounded to 

the nearest $1,000. 

The unmet needs and mitigation are 

slightly greater than the amount to be 

allocated, so the amount allocated reflects the 

unmet needs and mitigation less a 1.2488 

percent pro-rata reduction. 

Grantee Level Allocations 

As noted above, the basic formula for 

allocating these funds is to calculate for each 

disaster meeting a minimum ‘‘most impacted 

and distressed’’ damage threshold a formula 

that uses an estimate of unmet needs for 

housing, economic revitalization, and 

infrastructure plus 15 percent more for 

mitigation. Because in CY 2023 and CY 2024 

some States and counties were impacted by 

multiple disasters, some States and counties 

are proposed to receive a single award for 

multiple disasters. 

Where there are most impacted CDBG 

entitlement cities and/or CDBG entitlement 

urban counties, direct allocations were 

calculated to meet the dual goals of (i) 

funding locally and (ii) supporting efficient 

and effective program implementation. 

Note that when an urban county is 

identified, the funds allocated are for the 

entirety of the county, not just participating 

jurisdiction in the regular CDBG program. 

The exception is when an entitlement city is 

also receiving a direct CDBG–DR award, in 

which case that is subtracted out of the 

county calculation.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs 

(BIA) has adjusted its electric power 

rates for the Mission Valley Power 

Project (MVP). 

DATES: The 2025 rate adjustment will be 

effective March 1, 2025. The 2026 rate 

adjustment will be effective March 1, 

2026. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

details about MVP, please contact Shane 

R. Hendrickson, Superintendent, Bureau 

of Indian Affairs, P.O. Box 40, Pablo, 

Montana 59855, (406) 675–2700, Ext

who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, 

or have a speech disability may dial 711 

(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access 

telecommunications relay services. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice 

of Proposed Rate Adjustment was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 14, 2024 (89 FR 90032) to 

propose adjustments to the electric 

power rates at MVP. The public and 

interested parties were provided an 

opportunity to submit written 

comments during the 30-day period that 

ended December 16, 2024. 

Did BIA defer or change any proposed 

rate increases? 

Yes. BIA will not implement the 

proposed 2024 rates due to procedural 

delays. The final 2025 and 2026 rates 

will be implemented as proposed. 

Did BIA receive any comments on the 

proposed electric power rate 

adjustments? 

No. BIA did not receive any 

comments on the proposed electric 

power rate adjustments.
