The "Disaster Relief Transparency Act" requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to submit comprehensive reports to Congress regarding the allocation of funds for the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program and the Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program . These reports, developed in consultation with the Comptroller General, must detail the specific methodologies HUD employs to distribute these critical funds to States, Tribes, Territories, and local governments. Furthermore, the Secretary must explain why allocation methodologies might vary across different appropriations and provide legislative and administrative recommendations to enhance the consistency and timeliness of these allocations. The initial report is due within 90 days of the bill's enactment, covering appropriations from fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Subsequently, annual reports will be required by the end of each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2026, to examine the appropriations for that specific year.
