The total amount of funding is $213,224,000. The funds are available from the Department of Housing and Urban Developments Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program. Many communities in South Carolina are still grappling with the effects of the devastating floods from 2015 and Hurricane Matthews impacts in 2016. Todays announced funding will help these communities rebuild and better prepare for future disasters. I will continue to fight for the federal investments in mitigation and resilient infrastructure that our state needs, Clyburn said. The funding will be available to the following entities: State of South Carolina - $157,590,000 City of Columbia - $18,585,000 Richland County - $21,864,000 Lexington County - $15,185,000 | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
