Hillsborough County approves $211.3 million CDBG‑DR housing program, seven flood‑mitigation projects
Summary
The BOCC received and approved a HUD CDBG‑DR report and action‑plan amendment that proposes $211,339,196 for a single‑family housing program expected to assist about 1,000 homeowners; the board also approved an initial list of seven infrastructure projects aimed at flood mitigation, with phase‑1 costs estimated at roughly $9 million.
The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners received and approved a report on the county’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) program and an associated action‑plan amendment.
Demores, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, said the proposed single‑family housing program allocates $211,339,196 in grant funding under the county’s action plan and is expected to assist approximately 1,000 single‑family homeowners, including mobile homes, who owned their property at the time it was impacted by hurricanes referenced in the transcript. "The CDBG Doctor single family housing program allocates $211,339,196 in grant funding under the county's action plan and is expected to assist approximately 1,000 single family homeowners, including mobile homes," Demores said.
The board also approved an initial list of seven infrastructure projects funded by the CDBG‑DR grant. According to the recap, those projects fall into three categories: neighborhood drainage improvements; permanent pump station projects; and culvert repair and/or replacement projects, selected to address or mitigate flooding across the county. The estimate provided for phase 1 projects in the recap is approximately $9,000,000.
The communications summary did not include a detailed project list with locations or a schedule for disbursement, nor did it provide a roll‑call vote. The transcript recap indicates board approval of the report and the listed project categories; additional staff documents or the formal action plan would be needed to obtain precise project scopes, timelines, and allocation schedules.
