summer 2024 Tama COUNTY DISASTER DECLARATION
-
Governor Reynolds issued a disaster declaration for multiple counties in Iowa following severe weather in May & June 2024. This activates the Iowa Individual Disaster Assistance Grant Program (IIAGP). IIAGP offers grants to families whose household’s annual income is at 200% or less of the federal poverty level. Each eligible household may receive up to $5,000 for items that qualify under one of the four categories: temporary housing, food assistance, personal property, and home repair.
