Disaster grants are made available when the Idaho Office of Emergency Management requests through FEMA, and the President of the United States declares, a major disaster or emergency. Based on the extent of damage and declaration type, assistance may be available to State, Tribal and local governments, certain private non-profit organizations, and/or individuals, with the goal of quick and efficient recovery from the event.
The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) Disaster Assistance Program is one of the federal government’s primary sources of financial assistance to help individuals and households recover and rebuild from a major disaster. In many cases, homeowners and renters find that they need assistance from both programs to support their recovery.
SBA offers long-term, low-interest disaster loans to businesses of all sizes, private nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters.
