State help available for Iowa storm victims

Scott County residents are now eligible for help from the state of Iowa after several recent outbreaks of severe weather.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a disaster proclamation for Scott County on May 24, one of many Iowa Counties impacted by the recent severe storms. The proclamation makes grant assistance and case management services available to affected residents for needs including auto and home repairs, clothing, food and emergency housing. Individuals and families must meet income eligibility guidelines to qualify for the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program. There are no income eligibility guidelines for case management assistance.

Potential applicants have 45 days from the date of the proclamation, May 24, 2424 to submit a claim. The deadline date is July 8.
