Homeowners located in a rural area of the county who experienced damages from the winter storms between December 27, 2022 and January 31, 2023, could be eligible for the Rural Disaster Home Repair Grant. This time sensitive opportunity can fund home repairs for impacts in rural areas up to $40,675.    

Homeowners should start by checking the Property Eligibility Map to see if their address is located in an eligible area. Click “Accept” below the Property Eligibility Disclaimer to proceed. To be eligible, applicants must also not exceed low-income limits relative to county and family size. See the USDA Direct Limit Map for relevant low-income limits by county and family size.

Recovery Assistance Email

Donation Information

The best way to help those impacted by the Border 32 fire is a financial donation to a trusted local organization that can help meet the needs of survivors when they need it. Donations of goods such as clothing and household items can sometimes be difficult to distribute as someone who just lost their home may not have a place to keep donated items. Learn more about donations after a disaster.
