The deadline to apply for funding under the state Shelter at Home program is this Friday, October 21st.
The program provides up to $15,000 for basic repairs allowing residents to live in in their homes as they continue the rebuilding process. Ten thousand people have already benefited from the program.
Eligible repairs include weatherproofing, securing broken doors and windows, and a safety inspection of wiring and plumbing. Money for temporary appliances such as small refrigerators and microwaves is also available.
Applicants will need proof of ownership, residency, and a state issued ID to get started.
