Rural Disaster Home Repair Grant Program

An Unnumbered Letter (UL) has been issued to announce the availability of $55.7 million in grant funding through the new Rural Disaster Home Repair Grant Program. Through this program, rural homeowners may apply to receive grants of up to $40,675 to repair their homes damaged by a Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Presidentially declared disaster. 

As outlined in the UL:

• The applicant can have a household income up to the low-limit income. 
• There is no age restriction (though the applicant must be considered an adult under state law).
• The damaged home must be located in an eligible rural area and in a CY 2022 Presidentially declared disaster area. 
• Eligible application packagers may charge a packaging fee of up to $1,000 (which can be covered by the grant) to assist eligible homeowners through the application process.   

Please see the UL for additional details. 

Impacted rural homeowners and application packagers interested in learning more about the program should contact their local or state Rural Development office.   

The UL has been posted to https://www.rd.usda.gov/resources/directives/unnumbered-letters under Housing Programs.
