Available Funding
California Department of Housing and Community Development’s dedicated site to support rehab or reconstruction of properties impacted by natural disasters. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocates funding to states that have federally declared natural disasters. This funding is to begin long term disaster recovery efforts.
Program Overview
Disaster Housing Assistance Program
On November 1, 2019, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) will start conducting an interest survey on Californians impacted by both the 2017 and 2018 disasters. The information collected in this survey will help to determine the specific recovery needs of impacted property owners, eligibility for available disaster housing assistance, and inform the need for future recovery programs as they are developed. In addition to completing the survey, we encourage you to sign up to receive email updates prior to the survey roll-out.
Note: HCD anticipates that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will release funding to California for the 2018 disasters in late 2020.
