Lasting Manatee (Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery)
Learn More
Manatee County has been awarded $252,711,000 in Community Development Block Grant―Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR) funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) due to damage from hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton.
All HUD CDBG-DR appropriations are intended to accomplish the following for areas affected by Presidentially declared disasters:
- Rebuild disaster-impacted areas and provide crucial seed money to start the long-term recovery process.
- Grants are to help low- and moderate-income areas that otherwise might not recover due to limited resources, and mitigate against damage from future storms.

Action Plan
The draft Action Plan will be published here for public comment once available. We estimate the availability of the draft Action Plan to be on or around May 20, 2025.
Project Contracts
The CDBG-DR grant is complex and requires the soliciting of project ideas (which will take at least 60 days) and a 30-day comment period before we are able to identify which projects will be funded. Then, after we have submitted the Action Plan to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for review, it will take approximately another 45 days for them to provide us with the Grant Agreement that will authorize us to fund the programs. At that time (roughly July), we will begin soliciting for construction contract bids. We will be putting the bids for contracts on our Lasting Manatee CDBG-DR website as well as following our normal Procurement processes to ensure that they are publicly available to everyone.
Project Contracts will be displayed below once available.
