AI Summary
This bill, the Reforming Disaster Recovery Act, would:
- Establish a Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund to provide Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) disaster recovery assistance for housing, community development, economic revitalization, and mitigation in areas most impacted by catastrophic major disasters.
- Require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to lead and coordinate the disaster-related responsibilities of the Department, including establishing a new Office of Disaster Management and Resiliency.
- Authorize HUD to make CDBG disaster recovery grants from the Fund, using a formula allocation system, to states, local governments, and tribes based on unmet housing, economic, and infrastructure needs in the most impacted areas.
- Establish requirements for grantee plans, low- and moderate-income benefit, prioritization of vulnerable populations, mitigation activities, and financial controls and reporting.
- Allow the Secretary to waive certain statutory and regulatory requirements to facilitate disaster recovery.
- Require coordination of disaster recovery data and assistance between HUD, FEMA, and SBA to prevent duplication of benefits while expediting recovery.
