Recovery Resource Guide
for the Gulf Coast
About This Publication
The Recovery Resource Guide for the Gulf Coast contains brief descriptions and contact information for programs from government, non-government, and corporate sources that may be able to assist local communities as they recover from the impacts of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill. This guide presents an array of programs that may be of assistance during disaster recovery – depending upon the circumstances, community needs, and available resources. Since each community’s needs during recovery from the Gulf Oil Spill are unique, this guide includes a broad listing of resources that may be of use to some communities as they work to re-invigorate their economies and local natural resources after the oil spill. Additionally, eligibility requirements may be more comprehensive or more restrictive than is detailed in this guide. Please verify the applicability and eligibility requirements of a particular program with the sponsoring organization.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
The summaries of federal programs include the notation “CFDA Number.” This refers to the program number found in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, the compendium of financial and nonfinancial programs throughout the federal government that provide assistance or benefits to the American public. The CFDA includes a comprehensive list of federal, regional, and local office addresses and telephone numbers that are also a useful reference for obtaining program information. The CFDA can be obtained from the Internet and U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)’s free CFDA website at http://www.cfda.gov. However, if interested in purchasing the CFDA from the Government Printing Office (GPO), contact the Superintendent of Documents at 202-512-1800 or toll free at 866-512-1800, or reach GPO's online bookstore at: http://bookstore.gpo.gov.
