what does it mean?

It was estimated that the rebuilding effort outlined in the report would cost at least $17bn, with $12bn of that devoted to buying condemned properties.

What does the second word "that" mean?

Thank you very much...

I understand it as "$12bn of the sum they have just mentioned, thus $12bn of $17bn"
