Obscurity: 3 (Rating: 0 = Easy, 3 = Difficult, 5 = Impossible) – How difficult Florida makes it for citizens to find the state's grant website.

Key Takeaways.

Where does the state of Florida publish the required HUD CDBG-DR notices and action plans?

Using industry-standard search practices, finding the Florida CDBG-DR Grantee website should be easy. However, these websites are often hidden in plain sight for state managers and are not actually published in a way that citizens can easily locate or understand. Check your state's obscurity rating to see how accessible the grant website really is.
