Action Plan Development

The county will develop an Action Plan, with input from the community, to identify the unmet needs resulting from the hurricane and strategies to address them. Public participation is strongly encouraged and will be conducted through several means, such as surveys and a community engagement series. Once those are completed, a draft of the Action Plan will be published for the community to review and provide feedback.

  • Volusia County will develop an Action Plan detailing how the county intends to use CDBG-DR funds
    • Unmet needs assessment required – will include input with stakeholders groups, data required from FEMA, SBA, and public meetings
    • Draft Action Plan requires a 30-day public comment period and at least one public hearing
  • Action Plan submitted to HUD for approval before funds are released and programs can begin.
