Unraveling the complexities of recovery The disaster recovery process is complex and requires expert guidance to ensure grantees comply with all federal requirements and design programs to maximize their funding, resulting in the greatest benefit to the grantee. Tidal Basin has supported CDBG-DR grantees through all phases of the recovery cycle. From a high level, this is what HUD grantees should expect from CDBG-DR Allocation to Grant Closeout.
