Infrastructure and Resilient Infrastructure Program

DR-INF/MIT-RIP funds helps local governments (Subrecipients) in impacted areas rebuild their communities’ infrastructure in a more resilient manner to withstand future natural disasters. 

Program Overview

CDBG-DR-Infrastructure (DR-INF) projects are funded to assist with meeting the unmet infrastructure needs of eligible local communities. It provides funding for FEMA Public Assistance (PA) match projects, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) match projects, other non-FEMA match projects, and stand-alone projects identified by eligible communities.

Depending on how HUD provides mitigation funding to HCD, communities eligible for DR-INF funds may also apply for Resilient Infrastructure Program (MIT-RIP) funds. MIT-RIP funds are intended to assist local jurisdictions with mitigation-related infrastructure needs to support risk reduction from wildfire, flooding, and earthquake hazards. Projects eligible for MIT-RIP funding must address risks to a variety of systems and structures to enable continuous operations of critical business and government functions during future disasters and improve responses for human health and safety or economic security.

As a result of the remediation process, the appearance of the document may be slightly different than the original executed hard copy, however, remediation does not and will not change any verbiage of the signed agreement, so the version posted on this website is identical in deliverables, milestones, terms, and conditions to the non-remediated version.
