Welcome to the City of Asheville’s CDBG-DR Engagement Hub!

On January 16, 2025, following a December 2024 Congressional appropriation, HUD allocated $225,010,000 in CDBG-DR funds for the City’s recovery from the unprecedented damage caused by Tropical Storm Helene.

CDBG-DR is a federal disaster recovery program that provides funding to communities affected by major disasters. Unlike the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, CDBG-DR funds are not permanent and must be approved by Congress in response to specific events. These funds must be used to address unmet disaster-related needs, particularly in housing, economic revitalization, and infrastructure restoration.

Public participation is a critical part of the disaster recovery process.
