The Missouri Department of Economic Development (MO DED) has released several opportunities for CDBG funding based on recent presidential disaster declarations. These programs are designed to benefit low- to moderate-income communities and help them recover from the storm and flood related damage as well as mitigate damage from future disasters. Each program is targeted at specific disaster declarations and to different purpose. Links to the Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) and other resources for each program are highlighted below.
