HUD and FEMA Team Up to Cross-Check Disaster Aid Recipients
Published Date: 8/6/2026
Notice
Summary
HUD, FEMA, and disaster recovery partners are teaming up again to share updated data for better disaster aid. This matching program starts September 8, 2026, lasts 18 months, and helps make sure disaster recovery funds go to the right people. If you have thoughts, speak up by September 8, or the program rolls on as planned!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Flood-Insurance Data Can Limit Aid
HUD will receive FEMA National Flood Insurance Program and Individuals and Households Program data and will use it to prevent duplication of benefits and to comply with rules that can limit certain flood disaster assistance for persons who failed to obtain and maintain required flood insurance. The matching program begins September 8, 2026, and lasts 18 months.
HUD Uses FEMA Data to Set Grants
HUD will receive FEMA data and use personally identifiable information to develop funding formulas, request additional appropriations from Congress, and calculate Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grant allocations. This matching program starts September 8, 2026, and continues for 18 months (with a possible 12-month extension).
Transitioning HUD Recipients From Shelters
The matching program will match FEMA sheltering and housing assistance records with HUD housing program records to help transition HUD-assisted occupants back into HUD housing while preventing duplicative payments. The program goes into effect on September 8, 2026 and runs for 18 months.
Extensive PII Sharing With Grantees
Under this agreement, many personally identifiable data fields (for example: names, dates of birth, last 4 digits of Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, gross income, FEMA registration numbers, insurance data, and approved assistance amounts) will be shared among HUD, FEMA, and CDBG-DR grantees beginning September 8, 2026 for an 18-month period. The data fields to be shared are listed in the notice.
