Recovery Programs

Baldwin County will receive $43,361,686 from ADECA to implement recovery activities, with the period of performance ending on May 31, 2026.

The $43 million grant will not fund any one project but will be used to support multiple projects and may be leveraged with other state and federal funds to address Baldwin County’s unmet disaster recovery needs.

Of this amount, $19 million will be allocated for housing initiatives, and $24 million will be dedicated to non-housing programs and projects, including infrastructure and economic development activities.

Eligible recovery activities must:

• Benefit low- and moderate-income individuals or areas
  • “Low and moderate-income” is defined as households that earn 80 percent or less than the median income for Baldwin County. The income level is set by HUD annually and is based on the number of individuals within the household or family.
  • HUD's Low to Moderate Income Population by Tract Map
  • Baldwin County Census Tracts Block Groups Map
• Have a clear “tie-back” or relation to Hurricane Sally or Hurricane Zeta and address direct or indirect disaster-related impacts
• Be an eligible activity under HUD’s CDBG-DR program and ADECA’s LRPP Program Guidelines

  Additional eligibility criteria may be outlined for programs in the Local Recovery Plan depending on the needs and priorities discovered during the planning and public comment period.

  CDBG-DR funds are designed to support community recovery and provide recovery opportunities to vulnerable populations and protected classes that may not have access to traditional supports. To meet HUD and ADECA requirements, priority populations and target areas will be identified in the LRP based on available data on populations and area storm impacts, and community inputs received during the planning period.
