Public Assistance for the eight disasters COR3 runs, federal share, as of Oct 14, 2026. “Committed” is FEMA's federal share obligated to approved projects. “Paid out” is what COR3, Puerto Rico's recovery office, has paid to the towns, agencies and non-profits doing the work, as reimbursements and advances; COR3 does not subtract money they returned. 43% of what COR3 has paid went out as advances, before the work was billed. Hazard mitigation grants (HMGP) are separate and not in the figures above: $220M paid out of $626M.
In FEMA’s project records, every disaster since 2001
- Committed by FEMA since 2001
- $39B
- Projects
- 22,268
- Island-wide agencies
- $30.4B 78%
- Filed under the 78 towns
- $8.7B 22%
“Obligated” means FEMA has committed the money to an approved project; the applicant draws it down as the work is done and paid for, often years later, so committed money is not money already spent. FEMA’s records cover all 20 disasters declared since 2001; COR3’s cover the eight it runs, which hold all but a sliver of the money.
Paid out and committed over time
Everything FEMA had committed and everything COR3 had paid out at the end of each quarter, from the first payment in September 2017.

Every town
Click a column to sort. Committed and per resident are FEMA’s project records, the projects filed under each town. Paid out is COR3’s figure for the projects located in the town, island-wide projects excluded, beside COR3’s own committed figure for them; % paid divides those two. Each town’s page lists its largest projects with what has been paid on them.

Housing recovery money (HUD)
Separate from FEMA: HUD’s disaster block grants to Puerto Rico’s Department of Housing pay for home repair and rebuilding, mitigation and the power grid, $20.6 billion in all. $6.2 billion has been drawn from them since April 2020, the months the federal record covers.

About the data
- “Paid out” is from COR3’s transparency portal (Puerto Rico’s Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency), read once a week: what COR3 has paid to the towns, agencies and non-profits doing the work, as reimbursements and advances, for the eight disasters it runs. COR3 does not subtract money they returned, so a disaster can show more than 100%. “Committed” beside it is FEMA’s federal share obligated for the same disasters. Every % on this page divides two figures from the same source.
- The chart’s paid-out line adds up every payment in COR3’s ledger by the date it was paid; its committed line adds up FEMA’s obligations by the date FEMA made them (OpenFEMA’s award activities). Both match COR3’s totals.
- A town’s paid-out figure is COR3’s for the projects located in it, whoever runs them, with island-wide projects left out; FEMA’s “filed under the town” is a different list, so the two committed figures differ.
- Every Public Assistance project FEMA has funded in Puerto Rico, from OpenFEMA’s Public Assistance Funded Project Details, read once a week. Public Assistance pays to repair public infrastructure and buildings, and for emergency work, after a declared disaster; it is not aid to households.
- “Committed” is FEMA’s obligated amount for each project, as of the date above. A project’s obligation can rise or fall as its scope changes; the totals move with it.
- A town’s total is the projects FEMA filed under that town: its municipality’s, and those of the schools, churches, hospitals and other applicants FEMA lists there. The island-wide agencies’ projects are filed as statewide, even where the work is in a town.
- “New” means a project FEMA had not obligated money to at the previous weekly read; money added to an older project counts in the totals only.
- A cross-check: the U.S. Treasury’s own record (USAspending.gov) shows $5.4 billion paid to COR3 on these FEMA grants from October 2023 through August 2026, the months it covers; COR3’s ledger has the whole record since 2017.
