Resilient and Ready Storm Repair Program

How it works

The program provides grant funding for homeowners affected by the July 10, 2024 storms and flooding or the July 17, 2024 tornadoes. The stated purpose is to fund emergency repairs that make a home safe and livable.

What the money covers

The packet says the repairs are for critical home repairs needed after the storm damage. It also states that reimbursement is available for work done before the program started.

Amounts and matching

• Maximum grant: up to $50,000.
• A homeowner receives the amount needed for critical repairs, but not more than $50,000.
• The packet does not describe a matching requirement.

How to apply

Applicants must submit:

• a completed application,
• proof of income, and
• insurance documentation.

The packet says applicants are first pre-approved based on income, and then the program provides a list of additional documents needed for final approval.

Timing and deadlines

The program is tied to damage from specific storm dates in July 2024. The packet does not list a final application deadline on the pages reviewed.

Extra notes for homeowners

The packet says this is for work that makes the home safe and livable, and that homeowners must plan to stay in the home for at least two years. If the homeowner has no insurance, they must obtain insurance after repairs are finished.
