Appropriations Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110 -252) and under the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and
Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009 (Pub. L.110 -329) under the CDBG Program in order to assist in the
recovery from the 2008 floods.
This award is conditioned on the receipt of funds from HUD for the approved project in the previous
