DCA looks forward to using these federal funds to help NJ communities recover from Hurricane Ida and protect themselves against future disasters, including storms and flooding. Resilience in the face of climate change is essential and we thank
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the resources.

Today, we've allocated $3 billion in disaster aid to communities across the country that need it most.

After a community is touched by devastation, they deserve more than to simply rebuild — they deserve long-term resilience to future storms. That's what this funding represents.
