The City of Fort Lauderdale is preparing to launch housing assistance programs and infrastructure initiatives funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program to support recovery efforts following the April 2023 flood event.

As part of this process, the City will host a series of public meetings and outreach events to help residents learn more about available programs, eligibility requirements and how to apply for assistance.

Programs may include support for:
• Home rehabilitation and reconstruction
• Elevation of homes
• Reimbursement for eligible flood-related expenses
• Other recovery and mitigation activities

Because these meetings were scheduled on a limited timeline, the 1:30 p.m. session will be livestreamed, recorded and shared on the City of Fort Lauderdale’s YouTube channel for residents who are unable to attend in person.
