At least 75% of eligible disaster-related costs
Illinois administers FEMA Public Assistance funds for eligible disaster-related work by local governments and certain organizations. This is not a homeowner repair program, but it is a state-run disaster-recovery grant program documented by the state.
Program details
How it works
IEMA-OHS administers the Public Assistance Program as the Recipient for the State of Illinois. The state page describes it as a disaster-recovery grant program for eligible entities after disasters.
What the money covers
The official page does not describe homeowner hardening work. It is a public-sector disaster program, not a residential retrofit program.
Amounts and matching
The page states applicants are eligible for at least 75 percent of eligible costs that were a direct result of the disaster incident.
How to apply
The state page says applicants must complete and submit a Public Assistance Grant Agreement, Public Assistance Risk Assessment, and FFATA Certification forms to IEMA-OHS before grant payments can be made.
Timing and deadlines
The page is disaster-linked and does not list a standing open enrollment period.
