Summary

This bill modifies factors that must be considered in allocating community development disaster recovery block grants.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from establishing a minimum threshold dollar amount when determining whether a ZIP code's damages related to housing are sufficient to qualify. Instead, the bill requires HUD to consider any ZIP code for which the median household income is less than 75% of the national median household income as having sufficient damage for that purpose.
