"[Long BeachBeach CityCity Manager Jack Schnirman said that the money will be allocated for New York residents through the federal Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program, and will help with reconstruction and rehabilitation of single- and multi-family homes as well as businesses... The Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, signed into law by President Obama on Jan. 29, included $16 billion in CDBG-DR funding. The Department of HousingHousing and Urban Development announced the first allocation, totaling $5.4 billion, to five states and New York City eight days later. New York state submitted its required action plan, describing how the funds would be used, on April 3, and HUD conducted an expedited review to enable the state to access the money as quickly as possible. "It is incredibly significant," Schnirman said, adding that eligible homeowners can receive up to $150,000 to elevate their homes. "It's the relief that we've been waiting so long for; it's the relief that Congress should have passed much earlier. What it means is, residents can apply for it and get the money they need to fix their homes going forward.""
