Hillsborough County approves 10 CDBG‑DR flood‑mitigation projects and an $80 million multifamily housing program
Summary
The Board approved 10 additional infrastructure projects under the Rebuilding for Tomorrow CDBG‑DR program to mitigate flooding and approved a proposed multifamily housing program that allocates $80,000,000 in grant funding to assist small rehabilitations and larger developments including a special population track.
Katie, with Hillsborough County Communications and Digital Media, said commissioners approved 10 additional infrastructure projects for the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program, a Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development intended to help communities recover from hurricanes Helene and Milton.
County materials provided categories for the selected projects—neighborhood drainage improvements, channel restoration, culvert repairs, power‑outage emergency beacons, pump‑station resiliency, low‑pressure sewer system conversion and natural lands flood mitigation restorations—and pointed listeners to rebuildingfortomorrow.hcfl.gov for a full project list.
Separately, commissioners approved a proposed CDBG multifamily housing program allocating $80,000,000 under the county’s action plan. The program is described as assisting small rehabilitation projects of 5–50 units, larger‑scale substantial rehabilitation and new construction, and a special population housing track for projects of roughly 50–100 units. Katie said all future projects under these programs will be brought to the board for consideration; the recap did not include vote tallies or mover/second details.
The board’s approvals put the additional projects and the multifamily program into the county’s planning pipeline; staff will return future project details and any required ordinance or funding actions to the commission for formal consideration.
