This application is for the Disaster Case Advocacy Program (DCA) and the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program (IIAGP). These programs become available after the Governor issues a disaster proclamation that activates the programs.
Disaster Case Advocacy is a supportive program involving a partnership between a disaster-impacted household and a disaster case advocate. Disaster case advocates walk beside households through the disaster recovery process. They serve as a primary point of contact assisting households in coordinating necessary services and resources to address the household’s complex disaster recovery needs. In this partnership, advocates and households assess the family’s disaster-related unmet needs, build a recovery plan, and access available resources. There are no income restrictions for DCA. All applicants will receive a consultation with a disaster case advocate.
The Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program offers grants to households whose annual income is at 200% or less of the federal poverty level. Each qualifying household may receive up to $7,000 for items that qualify under one of the four categories: temporary housing, food assistance, personal property, and home repair. Supporting documentation is required.
