Residents affected by the April 2023 flood can now apply for help covering costs tied to flood damage, according to the City of Fort Lauderdale. The assistance and reimbursement come through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program, known as CDBG-DR.

People who want details can comment on the city’s Instagram post with a droplet emoji to receive a link to the program information by direct message. The city’s post lists ftlcity.info/cdbg as the web address for the program.

The city shared the information after WSVN and CBS Miami reporter Ted Scouten covered the grant program. The post did not list an application deadline or eligibility requirements beyond being affected by the April 2023 flood.
