CDBG-DR (April 2025) home repair and mitigation activities

How it works

St. Louis County’s CDBG-DR materials explain that the program uses Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help areas recovering from presidentially declared disasters.

What the money covers

The county FAQ says the action plan prioritizes repairing and replacing flood-damaged housing, rebuilding and strengthening public infrastructure, and investing in planning and mitigation to reduce future risk.

Amounts and matching

The FAQ says HUD allocated $56,425,000 to St. Louis County, including $49,065,000 for unmet needs and $7,360,000 for mitigation activities. The FAQ does not state homeowner award amounts.

How to apply

The FAQ states that the action plan is not an application to receive assistance.

Timing and deadlines

The FAQ is dated April 2025. The page does not give a household application deadline on the excerpted FAQ page.

Special notes

This is a disaster-recovery funding umbrella rather than a single homeowner rebate program, and the FAQ emphasizes low- and moderate-income households and disaster-affected renters and homeowners.
