Wyoming HUD CDBG-DR and FEMA Resources

Grantee website, Federal Register notices, and FEMA disaster declarations for the State of Wyoming.

The Wyoming resource page is the state entry in the WindRainFlood.Com Resources index. It links to the HUD CDBG grantee website for the State of Wyoming (WBC), the Federal Register search URL for CDBG-DR notices that name Wyoming, and a live FEMA disaster declaration table, filtered by default to DR-type declarations for Wyoming over the last five years.

The page is designed so that a household, a business, or an oversight volunteer can locate the state agency that administers the federal community development grant, confirm the FEMA declaration number for their disaster, and search the declaration history for the state in one place.

Wyoming HUD CDBG-DR Grantee

    • Grant Program Website
  • Program Structure

    • WBC administers CDBG funds for housing rehabilitation, public facilities and infrastructure, economic development, and planning activities [citation:15].
    • The program serves non-entitlement communities throughout Wyoming.
    • Annual CDBG allocation is approximately $2.7–2.8 million [citation:15].

The Three-Step Wyoming State Index Routine

A repeatable sequence that locates the Wyoming grantee, verifies the FEMA declaration, and tracks the assistance provided.

1

Locate the Wyoming Grantee

Your Action: Open the WBC grant program website from the Wyoming Grantee card on this page. Look for the CDBG program information, the Consolidated Plan, and the Annual Action Plan.

Why It Matters: The WBC website is the only place where the Wyoming household can read the current CDBG program rules, the Consolidated Plan, and the status of an open grant.

2

Verify the Wyoming Declaration

Your Action: Use the FEMA declarations table on this page to confirm the declaration number, the incident type, and the incident period for your disaster. If you need a wider search, use the FEMA declarations reference link below the table.

Why It Matters: The declaration number appears on the FEMA determination letter and on many Wyoming program forms. Confirming the declaration number ensures that the application is matched to the correct disaster.

3

Track the Wyoming Assistance

Your Action: Use the Federal Register search on this page to review every HUD CDBG-DR notice that names Wyoming. Use the HUD Exchange CDBG-DR link to confirm the current Wyoming allocation and the published action plan. Save a copy of the current action plan, the allocation, and every decision letter.

Why It Matters: The public record is the document that supports an oversight request, a public comment, a legislative inquiry, or a formal appeal. Preserving the record is the first step in preventing obscured aid.

Glossary Term: Wyoming CDBG-DR Grantee

Definition: The State of Wyoming, acting through the Wyoming Business Council (WBC), is the HUD CDBG-DR grantee for the state's non-entitlement communities [citation:7][citation:15].

In Practice: WBC publishes the Wyoming Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, the allocation amounts, the program rules, and the application materials on the WBC website. WBC is responsible for the program design, the eligibility determinations, and the appeal process for individual applicants.

Why It Matters: The WBC website is the only public record of the Wyoming CDBG program. Without it, Wyoming households cannot verify the program rules, the deadlines, or the case status.

Glossary Term: FEMA Disaster Declaration

Definition: A formal federal declaration by the President that a major disaster or emergency exists in a specified area and that federal assistance is authorized.

In Practice: The declaration records the disaster number, the state, the incident type, the incident period, and the designated counties. The declaration unlocks FEMA Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and other federal programs.

Why It Matters: The declaration number appears on the FEMA determination letter and on most state and federal program forms. Without it, the household cannot verify eligibility or file a program application.

Case Origin: Why This Page Exists

After a presidentially declared disaster, federal recovery funding for Wyoming flows through FEMA and HUD. FEMA administers Individual Assistance and Public Assistance. HUD administers the Community Development Block Grant program, which is awarded to the State of Wyoming through WBC [citation:15].

This page traces to recurring Wyoming wildfire, flood, and severe storm events where Wyoming households could not locate the state's CDBG grantee website or the current FEMA declaration for their county. The pattern was consistent: households that found the state grantee website early in recovery completed the application faster and with fewer disputes than households that learned about the program after the application window had closed.

During the 2026 reorganization the recovery team found that the state recovery links, the FEMA declaration links, and the assistance matrix were documented on separate pages, and households could not see the full state record. The three were merged into this page, which carries the Wyoming grantee website, the Federal Register search, and a live FEMA declarations lookup in one place.

Key public access points for Wyoming:

  • WBC CDBG page: the Wyoming grantee page for the CDBG program.
  • Federal Register search: the search that returns every HUD CDBG-DR notice naming Wyoming.
  • FEMA Disaster Declarations: the federal database that records every Wyoming declaration by number, incident type, and incident period.
  • FEMA Active Disaster Search: the federal search that lists currently open Wyoming disasters.
  • HUD Exchange CDBG-DR: the federal program page that lists the Wyoming allocation and the published action plan.
  • openFEMA: the federal open data portal that publishes FEMA program data, declarations, and assistance records for Wyoming.

The method generalizes to any state or disaster because it depends on the public record that each grantee and each federal agency publishes. Any Wyoming disaster can be looked up through the search tools on this page, and any new declaration is picked up automatically from the OpenFEMA v2 API.
