(Des Moines)– Governor Terry Branstad has approved a proclamation to enact the State Individual Assistance Grant Program for Dickinson county residents affected by last week’s extremely heavy rains.
The program provides grants to families with household incomes at or below twice the federal poverty index. The maximum grant a family can receive is $5,000.
The program is launched with a governor’s declaration and at the request of local officials.
Those applying need to provide all receipts for replacement items claimed.
An application and more information can be found online by visiting the “storm help” link on the front page of the Department of Human Services website at www.dhs.iowa.gov.
