IDHS: Applications Available for State Disaster Relief Fund

You may qualify for assistance if you suffered property damage during recent severe storms and flooding.

INDIANAPOLIS - If your home or property was damaged due to severe storms or flooding between March 30 and April 2, you may qualify for assistance from the State Disaster Relief Fund. 

Individual aid applications are now open for residents in eligible areas.

Applications to help with immediate needs will initially be capped at $2,000. However, eligible homeowners could receive additional assistance after a complete damage assessment is finished.

IDHS and county-level officials continue to assess the damage to multiple counties throughout Indiana. Currently, more than 500 homes are reported to have suffered significant damage or been destroyed. However, high flood waters have delayed the comprehensive assessment in some counties. Depending on the damage assessment data, additional homeowners or jurisdictions may qualify for financial assistance later.
