Summary

The Reforming Disaster Recovery Act establishes a Long‑Term Disaster Recovery Fund in the Treasury and authorizes the HUD Secretary to award community development block grant assistance for housing and community rebuilding. It creates an Office of Disaster Management and Resiliency within HUD to coordinate federal disaster response and to support state, tribal, and local governments, especially for low‑ and moderate‑income households. The goal is to provide predictable, flexible resources that speed long‑term recovery and improve resilience after federally declared disasters.
