This notice governs Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds awarded under several appropriations. It provides additional flexibility to CDBG-DR grantees as they continue their disaster recovery efforts while also responding to the Coronavirus pandemic.

This notice provides:

• An automatic one-year extension of its previously established expenditure deadline for CDBG-DR funds under certain public laws in response to a 2015, 2016, or 2017 disaster
• Grantees with the option to request an additional expenditure extension beyond the one-year extension, for a maximum total extension of two years
• Submission extensions to CDBG-DR grantees for their certifications, implementation plan and capacity assessment, and action plan in response to a 2018 or 2019 disaster
• A new provision that allows grantees of a 2018 or 2019 disaster to request additional submission extensions
