The approved assistance includes: More than $906,000 in Housing Assistance: This funding will help cover costs for home repairs, home replacement, and rental assistance for those whose homes were damaged or destroyed. More than $476,000 in Other Needs Assistance: This aid will support personal property replacement and address other serious storm-related needs such as moving and storage fees, transportation, childcare, and medical and dental expenses.
