AI Summary

This bill establishes the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund to provide community development block grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) assistance for necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of housing and infrastructure, economic revitalization, and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from catastrophic major disasters. The bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to lead and coordinate the disaster-related responsibilities of the Department and establishes the Office of Disaster Management and Resiliency within HUD. The bill also requires HUD to issue regulations to implement the CDBG-DR program, coordinate data sharing with other federal agencies to prevent duplication of benefits, and authorizes the transfer of data between HUD, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Small Business Administration to inform disaster recovery assistance while protecting privacy.
