Press Release

Location: Denver, CO
Issues: National Security Federal, State and Local Relations

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published clarifying guidance this week in the Federal Register. This guidance is designed to eliminate obstacles and provide a greater degree of flexibility in the State of Colorado's delivery of disaster assistance resources through its ongoing Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding activities.

The State, in collaboration with local government partners and its Congressional delegation, advocated for these clarifications.

"While these revisions have a positive national impact, locally they allow us to more efficiently and effectively respond to a greater number of Coloradans who were impacted by the floods," said Gov. John Hickenlooper. "We will be better able to support them as they rebuild their lives and their livelihoods."
