The FY25 Emergency and Long-Term Recovery Cycles are currently open. Applications for these cycles are being accepted until funding is exhausted. Contact a CDBG Planning Specialist for project eligibility discussion and application.
Description
This category provides funding for communities to address urgent threats to health and safety of citizens as a result of a locally- or presidentially-declared disaster event. Proposals are accepted at any time, but must be submitted within 18 months of the disaster event; CDBG will review the proposal to determine whether the project will meet eligibility criteria and then invites the community to make a full application.
Do I Qualify?
- The recipient is a non-Entitlement Unit of General Local Government within the State of Missouri
- Project is designed to alleviate existing conditions which pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.
- Project includes recovery activities which are of recent origin or which recently became urgent.
- The recipient is unable to finance the activity on its own.
- Other sources of funding, State or Federal, are not immediately available.
- A condition will generally be considered to be of recent origin if it developed and became critical within 18 months preceding the certification by recipient.

Any community attempting to qualify a project under the LMI Area Benefit (LMA) National Objective by Census must use the FY 2024 ACS 5-Year 2016-2020 Low- and Moderate-Income Summary Data, available on HUD’s website (accessed here).
