Carter, Sr. (D-La.) was pleased to announce Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) latest allocation of disaster relief funding for Louisiana of Community Development Block Grant \u2013 Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. This comes as a part of the $1.447 billion in CDBG-DR that HUD allocated nationally to help communities recovering from these disasters and to build inclusive resilience to climate change.\n\nThese funds will be allocated to state and local governments that previously received only partial CDBG-DR allocations for 2021 and 2022 disasters, including Hurricane Ida. Louisiana\u2019s Second Congressional District \u2013 which Congressman Troy Carter proudly represents \u2013 will receive around $834.5 million in CDBG-DR funding.\n\n\u201cThe road to recovery after a natural disaster can be long and winding for impacted communities struggling to rebuild their lives,\u201d said Congressman Carter. \u201cThe federal government should never make a tough situation worse. We must always step up to effectively and efficiently meet the needs of these disaster survivors, not only building back what was lost, but thoughtfully strengthening communities to weather future storms. I have been a vocal advocate for additional disaster aid after last year\u2019s terrible storm, and I\u2019m proud to have helped bring these funds home. The allocation of these millions of dollars in disaster relief grants will help power Louisiana, and its people, toward full recovery from Hurricane Ida.\u201d\n\nHUD is allocating the $1.447 billion to 10 local governments and 13 state governments that previously received partial CDBG-DR allocations for 2021 disasters.\n\nThe allocations in Louisiana are as follows:\n\nThe State of Louisiana is receiving: $831,502,000\n\nLake Charles is receiving: $7,042,000\n\nBaton Rouge is receiving: $3,038,000\n\nWith the additional funds allocated today, HUD has now allocated a total of $3.66 billion to these 23 communities to recover from 2021 disasters, prepare for future disasters, and build resilience to the impacts of climate change.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:24:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-troy-carter-celebrates-834-million-disaster-relief-louisianas"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9450712241232395, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
