CDBG–DR Automated Assessment Act
To require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to access unmet community development-related needs in areas impacted by disasters on an ongoing basis, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9180, proposes to mandate the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to regularly assess unmet community development needs in disaster-affected areas. By doing so, it aims to ensure that necessary resources and support are consistently available to help communities recover and rebuild.
The bill would primarily affect communities impacted by disasters, ensuring they have better access to ongoing assessments and support for development needs. This could include funding, infrastructure improvements, and other essential services needed for recovery and resilience.
HB9180 was introduced on June 8, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. The primary sponsor, Wesley Bell, presented introductory remarks on June 10, 2026. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, and further actions will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
