However, this lifeline largely relies on imported fossil fuel sources. Ongoing reliance on this source, combined with a centralized system of fragile infrastructure, could likely be the primary obstacle to resilience for Puerto Rico. That is why the Puerto Rico Department of Housing is focusing critical mitigation funds toward the resilience of the communities and families that need it most.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;300px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<strong>FREQUENTLY<\/strong> QUESTIONS&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:1.875em|text_align:center|color:%23005e6e|line_height:30px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1687796087254{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;h-afterlines&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;34295&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_tta_accordion shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;white&#8221; spacing=&#8221;5&#8243; active_section=&#8221;1&#8243; no_fill=&#8221;true&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is CDBG-DR?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1568652639006-4ccb1e42-5120d2c5-128f4c7a-9105d0ed-6a29a027-4a4dd4fb-e999&#8243;][vc_column_text]It is an allocation of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), available when the president declares a major disaster and there are significant unmet needs for long-term recovery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Who manages CDBG-DR Funds?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1568652639024-f93b36a9-59cad2c5-128f4c7a-9105d0ed-6a29a027-4a4dd4fb-e999&#8243;][vc_column_text]The Puerto Rico Department of Housing has been designated as the entity responsible for administering the funds that will assist in the recovery of the island from disasters caused by the 2017 Hurricanes Irma and Maria.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How will CDBG-DR Funds be administered?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1568652756656-a66dfe10-c8cad2c5-128f4c7a-9105d0ed-6a29a027-4a4dd4fb-e999&#8243;][vc_column_text]To invest in a more secure and resilient society, and to achieve a transparent and planned distribution, the funds granted by CDBG-DR will be divided into 4 main categories:<br \/>\n\u2022 Housing<br \/>\n\u2022 Planning<br \/>\n\u2022 Economic Development<br \/>\n\u2022 Infrastructure[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What are the main objectives of CDBG-DR programs?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1568652819396-40d0eb6d-7d1ad2c5-128f4c7a-9105d0ed-6a29a027-4a4dd4fb-e999&#8243;][vc_column_text]All CDBG-DR-supported programs provided by HUD must meet one of the program&#8217;s national objectives:<br \/>\n\u2022 Benefit people from low to moderate economic resources.<br \/>\n\u2022 Assist in the prevention or elimination of deteriorating areas.<br \/>\n\u2022 Meet an urgent need.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Where can I find more information about CDBG-DR?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1568652883846-03cec410-e813d2c5-128f4c7a-9105d0ed-6a29a027-4a4dd4fb-e999&#8243;][vc_column_text]\u2022 You can access <a href=\"https:\/\/recuperacion.pr.gov\/en\/contact-us\/contact\/\">CONTACT<\/a> on the website.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Write an email to: <a href=\"mailto:infoCDBG@vivienda.pr.gov\">infoCDBG@vivienda.pr.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Call: 787-274-2527 ext. 6400 or 6421<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Send a letter to:<br \/>\nPuerto Rico CDBG-DR Program<br \/>\nP.O.
