Purpose(s)
The purpose of this matching program
is to establish or verify initial or
continuing eligibility for DHS/FEMA
disaster assistance; prevent duplicative
disaster assistance payments; or recoup
duplicative payments and delinquent
debts under the programs referenced in
this Agreement, which will result in
individuals being quickly and
effectively transitioned from temporary
relief programs administered by DHS/
FEMA into long-term relief programs
administered by HUD.
This program also enables HUD’s
Community Development Block Grant
Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) grantees,
including states, local governments, and
Indian tribes (as directed by the
applicable appropriations act), to use
FEMA data to determine the correct
award amount for eligible program
beneficiaries by identifying unmet
needs of FEMA applicants; prevent the
duplication of benefits; implement the
statutory requirement that CDBG–DR
funds may not be used for activities
reimbursable by or for which funds are
made available by FEMA; and
implement the statutory requirement to
establish procedures to detect and
prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of
funds. To accomplish this purpose, this
program permits HUD to provide data to
CDBG–DR allocatees before the grant
agreement is signed, so long as the state,
local government, or Indian tribe that is
awarded the CDBG–DR allocation has
entered an information sharing
agreement with HUD. For purposes of
this program, the term ‘‘CDBG–DR
grantee(s)’’ includes CDBG–DR
allocatees.
In sum, the following programs are
covered under this computer matching
agreement:
1. DHS/FEMA housing assistance
provided through its Individuals and
Households Program (IHP) under
Section 408(f) of the Stafford Act, 42
U.S.C. 5174(f)(2)
2. HUD rental assistance programs
identified at 24 CFR 5.233 and the
Disaster Housing Assistance Program.
3. CDBG–DR assistance authorized
and appropriated from time to time
under various appropriations acts.
Categories of Individuals
Categories of individuals covered
under this matching agreement include
individuals seeking federal disaster
relief assistance.

matching program include the
following:
