        Unlike the permanently authorized recovery assistance programs from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), CDBG-DR exists only when Congress enacts a specific appropriation for the program. CDBG-DR funding can be used, based on grantee decisions, for a range of long-term investment in housing, infrastructure, economic recovery, and public services that other federal funding streams may not address in whole or part.
