Abstract
The Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, Public Law 114-254 (Appropriations
Act), was enacted to set aside federal funds for disaster relief. The Appropriations Act provides funds to
States or units of general local government for disaster recovery efforts in the affected areas. The federal
government appropriated $1.8 billion in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBGDR)
funds to be made available to States that were declared a major disaster by the President of the
United States in 2016. These funds are to be used to satisfy a port ion of unmet need that remains after
other assistance, such as funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Small
Business Administration (SBA), or private insurance, has been delivered. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines how these federal funds will be
distributed. HUD uses the “best available” data to identify and calculate unmet needs for disaster relief,
long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure, and housing and economic revitalization. Based on this
assessment, HUD notified the State of South Carolina that it will receive $65,305,000 in disaster recovery
funds to assist in recovery from Hurricane Matthew.
