The NOFO states the following: HUD anticipates the need for such knowledge because in recent years wildfire disasters have become more frequent and destructive and HUD has sharply increased allocations of disaster assistance for wildfires through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) programs. Congress has appropriated such supplemental CDBG funding to assist certain relief and recovery efforts since 1992. Allocations of these funds for wildfires have significantly increased in recent years: roughly, 79% of the supplemental CDBG funding for wildfire recovery or mitigation has been allocated since 2017. This NOFO draws upon funds provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) to support various research efforts, facilitated by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), including a study to examine the effectiveness of disaster recovery funds administered by HUD. HUD's purpose in commissioning this research is to enhance resilience against wildfires by strengthening community capacity for utilizing various forms of disaster assistance, with a particular focus on supporting low- and moderate-income individuals and areas. Studies such as those funded through the HUD Wildfire and Resilience Grant Opportunity, could inform future federal investments in long-term recovery and resilience for specific types of disasters. Funding Opportunity The HUD NOFO makes available up to $600,000 and no less than $200,000 for at least one cooperative agreement to study a community or multiple communities that sustained damage from a presidentially declared wildfire disaster since 2017. The opportunity is open to a range of public sector, tribal, nonprofit, higher education, and for-profit and small business entities.
