🌪️ CDBG-DR Fund Dashboard

Dashboard Overview

The CDBG-DR Fund Dashboard is an interactive web-based platform for exploring HUD Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) programs across the United States. It covers CDBG-DR funding associated with disasters and appropriations from 2001 to 2023, representing 18 disaster/appropriation categories across 40 states and U.S. territories.

Data and Functions

The dashboard integrates project- and activity-level financial information and geographic data. Users can apply seven hierarchical filters, compare programs or locations, explore recovery activities at the state, county, city/place, and urban-area levels, and generate a simplified one-page decision report.

Financial and Geographic Analysis

Interactive visualizations allow users to examine quarterly and cumulative trends in obligated, expended, and disbursed CDBG-DR funds. Users can also download decision reports, aggregate data, maps, and funding figures.

Audiences and Applications

The dashboard is designed for researchers, government agencies, CDBG-DR grantees, planners, policymakers, nonprofit organizations, students, and community stakeholders. Potential applications include disaster-recovery monitoring, funding and expenditure analysis, geographic and equity assessment, comparative program evaluation, implementation research, and policy analysis.

Data and export notes. Financial values are source-quarter transactions, so cumulative curves are chronological cumulative net sums and may decline when a reversal, correction, or deobligation occurs. Aggregate downloads contain summarized quarter-by-geography records, not raw financial rows.

City/place data attribution. City/place coordinates and primary-county attributes are derived from the user-supplied SimpleMaps U.S. Cities database. Census cartographic boundary files provide state, county, and 2010 urban-area polygons.

Static-site limitation. GitHub Pages is public static hosting. This edition performs filtering, aggregation, report generation, and downloads in the visitor’s browser and cannot provide server-side authentication.
