Dashboard Overview

The CDBG-DR Fund Dashboard is an interactive web-based platform for exploring HUD Community Development Block Grantā€“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, Quarterly Performance Report narratives, and geographic data. Users can apply seven hierarchical filters, compare two selected programs or locations side by side, and explore recovery activities at the state, county, city/place, and urban-area levels.

Financial and Geographic Analysis

Interactive visualizations allow users to examine quarterly and cumulative trends in obligated, expended, and disbursed CDBG-DR funds while linking financial performance with implementation narratives. Users can also download aggregated data and figures for additional analysis, reporting, and presentation purposes.

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 disaster-recovery 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 finance rows or raw full narrative text.

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 intentionally performs all filtering and aggregation in the visitorā€™s browser and cannot provide server-side authentication.
