    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is allocating over $186 million in Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds to grantees affected by 2018 disasters. This funding, authorized by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019, is meant for mitigation activities that increase resilience and reduce risks from future disasters in most impacted and distressed areas. Grantees must submit action plans detailing the use of these funds, which must focus on identified risk areas and can be leveraged through partnerships and coordination with other federal programs. HUD will provide technical assistance to smaller grantees to enhance the effectiveness of these mitigation efforts.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is giving over $186 million to help places hit by disasters in 2018 become stronger and safer. But the rules to get this money are tricky, so it might be hard for those who need it to figure out how to use it right.

    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), part of the Interior Department, has withdrawn the public review period and virtual public hearings for the proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258. This action, effective immediately, cancels the comment period and hearings originally scheduled for February 9-11, 2021, in response to Executive Order 14008. This order called for a pause on new oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters until a comprehensive review is completed. The withdrawal aims to save administrative costs while the review is underway.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is putting a pause on asking people what they think about a plan to allow companies to look for oil and gas in a place called Cook Inlet. They are doing this because a big rule says they need to check everything carefully before letting this happen.
