Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)
Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)
Welcome to the City of Asheville's CDBG-DR Engagement Hub!
Public participation is a critical part of the DR process. As part of the Action Plan’s development, the City underwent a robust public engagement process to ensure that community input helped shape the Action Plan, which estimates the City's unmet needs from Tropical Storm Helene and describes how the City intends to use CDBG-DR funding to address those needs. In February 2025, the City hosted 6 public input sessions to gather community input to inform the draft Action Plan. The draft Action Plan was published on March 4th, which began a 30-day public comment period, allowing residents to give their feedback on the Plan via the CDBG-DR Engagement Hub, email, and mail. The City also hosted three public feedback sessions to explain the draft Action Plan and to receive public comments. The sessions were hosted at different locations to promote geographic balance and maximize accessibility for all community stakeholders and disaster-impacted individuals. All comments received during the 30-day public comment period were included in the HUD Approved Action Plan.
