Planning Programs
Purpose
To increase resilience throughout Nebraska, DED will administer at least two planning programs with CDBG-DR funding.
The goal of the Risk Awareness Planning Program is to better understand flood risk and increase risk awareness by conducting research to identify and assign risk, including those of levees and levee-like structures (LLS) across the State, to further supported by outreach and education. This is a single grant administered by DED in partnership with the University of Nebraska and in collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NeDNR) and the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and other local and regional stakeholders. No additional grants will be provided to Subrecipients.
The goal of the Housing Resilience Planning Program (HRPP) is to promote comprehensive community resilience by providing funding for the development of housing plans to address flood vulnerabilities. The Housing Resiliency Planning Program provides Subrecipients funding to develop a plan that includes one or more of the following:
-
Housing Recovery;
-
Housing Resilience; and
-
Affordable Housing.
