The Iowa Finance Authority today (Fri) announced a November 20th deadline for eligible homeowners to apply for up to 50 thousand dollars for the repair or rehabilitation of their disaster-impacted home through the Disaster Recovery Housing Assistance Program.
Eligible homes must be located in a county approved for FEMA Individual Assistance following the three presidentially-declared natural disaster this spring and summer which include Buena Vista, Cherokee, Clay, O’Brien, and Palo Alto.
The Disaster Recovery Housing Assistance Program addresses unmet housing recovery needs outside the scope of insurance coverage or FEMA Individual Assistance. Governor Reynolds allocated 15 million dollars to the program, which has already issued nearly 300 conditional approvals to enable homeowners to start rebuilding or receive reimbursement for eligible expenses incurred.
More information, including an eligibility pre-check, is available at www.iowafinance.com. The full application for the program is available at IowaGrants.gov.
