Disaster Assistance (DA) uses public funds to assist individuals and families victimized by a federally declared disaster, through the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). The program components are Housing Assistance (HA) grants and Other Needs Assistance (ONA) grants. HA grants, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), are for disaster applicants displaced from their primary residence.
Assistance for medical, dental, funeral and other expenses (e.g., group flood insurance, miscellaneous post-incident clean-up items) are available to applicants without regard to income. Assistance for personal property (e.g., clothing; household room furnishings; appliances; specialized tools and clothing required for work; and necessary educational materials required by school/university), transportation, and moving and storage are restricted to applicants whose incomes do not meet the Small Business Administration income test. ONA grants are 75% federal- and 25% state-funded.
This program is now managed by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. Beginning with SFY 2022, VDSS will no longer report new statistics on this program.
