Background
The purpose of DR-ACCEL is to address projects with funding gaps so they may move into construction. Funding available under this Project Solicitation is derived from CDBG-DR funds. No bond sale or similar financial arrangements are involved.
HUD requires that 80 percent of CDBG-DR funding be spent within areas designated as Most Impacted and Distressed (MID areas). HCD will spend 100 percent of the 2023 DR Allocation, including the mitigation set-aside, in the HUD MID areas for DR-4683. Data sources relating to these MID counties are further explained in the Unmet Needs Assessment section of the Action Plan.
Low-and moderate income (LMI) renters receive the least amount of resources after disasters yet face the largest need for housing. The housing programs were allocated based on data from Disaster Case Manager Providers (DCMPs). Based on data provided by DCMPs, the largest group of LMI populations impacted by DR-4683 are renters, who plan on continuing renting.
The following counties constitute the MID areas for DR-4683: Merced, Santa Cruz, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura. Data sources relating to these MID counties are further explained in the Unmet Needs Assessment section of the Action Plan.
One of the prioritization criteria is distance to DR-4683 flooded areas. Projects closest to DR-4683 and not in 100-year flood plain areas will receive more points for this program.
