The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has allocated $84,980,000 in long-term recovery funds to the State of Tennessee to support recovery and mitigation efforts following severe storms, tornados, and flooding in 2020 (DR-4476-TN, DR-4541-TN) and 2021 (DR-4609-TN). Tennessee received $42,740,000 in Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds for 2020 disasters and $42,005,000 in CDBG-DR funds for 2021 disasters. The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) has been designated as the agency to administer this program and funding in Tennessee.
