This training is for CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT grantees and their subrecipients’ staff only. Grantees are encouraged to include staff with a range of experience administering CDBG-DR funds to maximize the impact of this year’s Clinic.
All registrations need to be reviewed and approved by the Registrar before registration is accepted to confirm eligibility to attend. Select members of subrecipients or partner organizations such as housing counseling organizations or public housing authorities may attend based on approval by the grantee.
