                     GENERAL PROVISION--THIS TITLE

    Sec. 1001. (a) Amounts previously made available for activities 
authorized under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) related to disaster relief, long-term 
recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic 
revitalization, and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed 
areas resulting from a major disaster, including funds provided under 
section 145 of division C of Public Law 114-223, section 192 of 
division C of Public Law 114-223 (as added by section 101(3) of 
division A of Public Law 114-254), section 421 of division K of Public 
Law 115-31, and any mitigation funding provided under the heading 
``Department of Housing and Urban Development--Community Planning and 
Development--Community Development Fund'' of Public Law 115-123, that 
were allocated in response to Hurricane Matthew, may be used 
interchangeably and without limitation for the same activities in the 
most impacted and distressed areas related to Hurricane Florence. In 
addition, any funds provided under the heading ``Department of Housing 
and Urban Development--Community Planning and Development--Community 
Development Fund'' in this Act or in division I of Public Law 115-254 
that are allocated in response to Hurricane Florence may be used 
interchangeably and without limitation for the same activities in the 
most impacted and distressed areas related to Hurricane Matthew. Until 
HUD publishes the Federal Register Notice implementing this provision, 
grantees may submit for HUD approval revised plans for the use of funds 
related to Hurricane Matthew that expand the eligible beneficiaries of 
existing programs contained in such previously approved plans to 
include those impacted by Hurricane Florence. Approval of any such 
revised plans shall include the execution of revised grant terms and 
conditions as necessary. Once the implementing Notice is published, any 
additional action plan revisions shall follow the requirements 
contained therein.
    (b) Amounts made available for administrative costs for activities 
authorized under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) related to disaster relief, long-term 
recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic 
revitalization, and mitigation in the most impacted and distressed 
areas under this Act or any future Act, and amounts previously provided 
under section 420 of division L of Public Law 114-113, section 145 of 
division C of Public Law 114-223, section 192 of division C of Public 
Law 114-223 (as added by section 101(3) of division A of Public Law 
114-254), section 421 of division K of Public Law 115-31, and under the 
heading ``Department of Housing and Urban Development--Community 
Planning and Development--Community Development Fund'' of division B of 
Public Law 115-56, Public Law 115-123, and Public Law 115-254, shall be 
available for eligible administrative costs of the grantee related to 
any disaster relief funding identified in this subsection without 
regard to the particular disaster appropriation from which such funds 
originated.
    (c) The additional uses pursuant to this section for amounts that 
were previously designated by the Congress, respectively, as an 
emergency requirement or as being for disaster relief pursuant to the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act are designated by the 
Congress as being for an emergency requirement pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985 or as being for disaster relief pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(D) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
of 1985.
