Assistant Director of Reporting and Information Management, Sandy Recovery Division
On Monday, October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey, resulting in a level of damage never before experienced in this state.

It is expected that there will be additional allocations of CDBG-DR to New Jersey by the HUD Secretary. The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) will administer the CDBG-DR funds allocated to New Jersey to rebuild homes, businesses, and infrastructure impacted by Superstorm Sandy
The DCA is seeking an Assistant Director for Reporting and Information Management to manage the disaster performance measurements, reporting requirements and the information technology systems related to CDBG-DR programs. A new interim division is to begin operations immediately and expected to remain operational through September 30, 2017.
