について Urgent Need Grant Program provides funding to help local governments address severe, unforeseen conditions that pose an immediate threat to public health or welfare and have occurred within the past six months. Applicants must document the emergency, show all other funding options have been exhausted, and ensure activities meet federal eligibility guidelines. The scope of the Urgent Need project must focus solely on the immediate threat. Long-term solutions must be pursued through regular CDBG funding grants or other sources.

対象プロジェクト

A total of $100,000 is allocated for the Urgent Need Program in 2025. This program funds projects that address an urgent need resulting from a sudden and severe natural or other disaster. Eligible expenses include:

Activities designed to meet urgent, health and welfare needs and for which no other financial resources are available to meet such needs
Reimbursement for project costs can be effective with the date of the disaster upon prior approval by Commerce
Administration costs for grant funds (up to 12.5% of the grant or $35,000, whichever is less)

CDBG National Objective

All CDBG projects must meet a national objective and involve an eligible activity under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. National objectives are 1) benefiting Low- and Moderate-Income persons (LMI), 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, and 3) meet a need having a particular urgency (urgent need).

All activities proposed for in applications for the Urgent Need Grant Program must meet the 緊急の必要性 national requirement to be eligible.

よくあるご質問

Is an environmental review always required?

Yes, all CDBG-funded projects are federally required to have an environmental review. The Environmental Determination of Level of Review form must be submitted with the application. This will inform Commerce as to what level of environmental review you will undertake for your project if awarded.

Post-award, the city or county must conduct a full environmental review of the project, even for small projects that don’t require construction. This responsibility cannot be delegated and the cost to conduct the review must be paid with local funds. Project activities may not begin until after Commerce issues the environmental release of project funds.

What is the public hearing process?

The local government must hold two public hearings to demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been undertaken to ensure involvement of citizens or citizen organizations throughout all stages of the program. A notice about the hearing must be published in a local newspaper with the widest circulation, and it must appear at least 5 full days before the hearing—not counting the day it’s published or the day of the hearing itself. These hearings must be held at a time and location convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries, with accommodations for non-English speaking residents and persons with disabilities. A sample public hearing notice is included in program guidelines.

First Public Hearing: Must be held at least 15 days before the CDBG application is submitted, and no earlier than 120 days. The purpose of the hearing is to inform citizens about the proposed project, including its location, total cost, activities, and beneficiaries. Community members must be given a chance to suggest other project ideas and share their input, and the local governing body should carefully consider this feedback before submitting the application. The total project funding and CDBG amount requested must match what appears in the public hearing notice.

Second Public Hearing: Must be held at the conclusion of the project, prior to close out to inform citizens of the project’s successful or unsuccessful completion, and to obtain input on the grantee’s performance.
