Disaster Financial Assistance

When a widespread disaster strikes and creates an unreasonable financial burden, disaster financial assistance (DFA) may be made available for eligible costs. DFA is intended to provide financial assistance to restore property to a habitable and functional state. Assistance is generally provided to help local governments, individuals, farm, businesses and non-profit organizations.
