County selects firms to negotiate for HUD disaster‑recovery funds totaling more than $79 million
Summary
The board selected and authorized negotiations with two firms to implement the county’s Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program; HUD allocated more than $79 million for long‑term recovery after recent hurricanes.
The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to negotiate with the two firms it deemed best qualified to implement the county’s federally funded Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) program.
Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, summarized the federal allocation: "In response to federally declared disasters nationwide after hurricanes Helen and Milton, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated more than $79 million in CDBGDR funding to support long‑term recovery and address unmet needs in Hillsboro County." The funds are intended to support low‑to‑moderate‑income residents in the most impacted and distressed areas.
The recap does not list the selected firms by name or the contract values; the board’s authorization permits staff to begin negotiations with the chosen firms as part of implementing the CDBG‑DR program.
