Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a total allocation of nearly $3 billion in Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to help communities recover from disasters, move back into permanent housing, and build inclusive resilience to climate change. Louisiana is receiving the following allocation, totaling nearly $1.3 billion: State of Louisiana is receiving $1,272,346,000. Baton Rouge is receiving $4,648,000. Lake Charles is receiving $10,776,000. “Today’s announcement is yet another example of the federal government showing up for the people of Louisiana,” said Congressman Troy Carter. “This more than $1.27 billion infusion into our state will not only help communities rebuild and recover from Hurricane Ida and recent floods, but will help build long-term strength and resiliency in our systems. These funds, along with the Infrastructure Law, are historic investments for Louisiana. I am proud to have supported and voted for these efforts.” With today’s allocations, HUD has now allocated the remaining funds of the $5 billion for CBDG disaster recovery funds appropriated from the disaster aid supplemental measure that the House passed on September 30th, 2021. Congressman Carter was proud to vote in support of this measure and bring home billions to Louisiana. In February, Congressman Carter joined his delegation members in a letter calling for more federal disaster relief resources as well as the allocation of funds from the September disaster supplemental. Today’s announcement meets many of the letter’s requests. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |
