HUD requires that 70% of all CDBG-DR funds must be spent on activities that benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) populations. Additionally, all CDBG-DR activities must meet the following requirements:

• Be an eligible activity under CDBG regulations (24 CFR Part 570).
• Meet one of three CDBG National Objectives (24 CFR 570.208).
• Tie back to the specific disaster(s) for which the funds were appropriated.

When implementing CDBG-DR activities, the County must follow all HUD and other applicable regulations such as Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA), environmental review, minimizing displacement, public participation and other requirements. The exact requirements depend on the specific details of each activity and/or project.
