Program details

How it works

IDHS says the State Disaster Relief Fund was established in 2003 to provide assistance to individuals and local governments who may not be eligible for federal disaster assistance but meet the state’s criteria for disaster relief.

What the money covers

The official page frames SDRF as disaster recovery help, not pre-disaster mitigation or home hardening. The page also notes IDHS works with communities on mitigation initiatives that lower the costs and risks of disaster damage.

Amounts and matching

The main page excerpt does not give a fixed homeowner award amount. It does mention that in some cases mitigation activities can affect the share of total damage cost that may be covered, but the page excerpt does not provide a statewide homeowner formula.

Timing and deadlines

SDRF is activated after disaster events and state determinations; the page does not list a standing application window for homeowners.
