The original budget language for this program said, "Of the amounts in this paragraph, $25,000,000 is provided for the department to supply major weather event disaster mitigation funding to affected communities to counter the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Grants under this paragraph shall be made to local governments, nonprofit entities, or individuals to supplement disaster recovery funding by improving the characteristics of the physical structures of houses and multi-family dwellings including the building materials, energy efficiency profile, and hazard mitigation features which influence the accessibility of the home, cost of cooling and heating, and the likelihood that the structure withstands hazards."

It's been a year and a half and DHCD still has not even put out guidelines for mitigation projects for housing, which is what the funding was supposed to be for. Bridges and slopes are important, but if the next flood wipes out homes again, then the bridges and slopes will go to nothing. Where is this funding??
