In case you missed the public notice of FR-2025-01-16.

I don't know how many of you can read and speak "government," but if you want to get involved, no matter what state you are in, and you had a major disaster in the years 2023-2024, this resource is for you. Use the comment section to share your state and county/parish/city so that, as a group, we can look to see if you are in the MID areas. Then I'll walk you through the application process and the citizen participation process before your state even submits its master action plan to HUD.
