Some Greene County residents can receive disaster assistance through the state from the recent severe weather incidents.

Governor Kim Reynolds announced Greene County, along with Cerro Gordo, Hardin, Mills and Pottawattamie counties through a disaster proclamation for severe weather that happened on June 14th. The proclamation activates the Iowa Assistance Grant Program and the Disaster Case Management Program. 

Families of three households with incomes of up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible to receive up to $5,000 through the Iowa Assistance Grant Program. These grants are for home or car repairs, replacement of clothing or food, and temporary housing expenses. Applicants have 45 days from June 14th to submit a claim.

The Disaster Case Management Program addresses serious needs related to disaster-related hardship, injury, or adverse conditions. There are no income eligibility requirements for this program and it closes 180 days from June 14th.
