The Iowa Individual Disaster Assistance Grant Program (IIAGP), part of the Iowa Community Action Association, is dedicated to supporting families in times of crisis following a disaster declaration by the Governor in Ames, IA, and surrounding areas. We provide essential financial assistance to households with annual incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, offering grants of up to $5,000 to help with temporary housing, food assistance, replacement of personal belongings, and necessary home repairs. Our mission is to ensure that families have the support they need to recover and rebuild after a disaster. To start the application process, individuals can download the application and submit it to a local Community Action Association by the specified deadline, allowing us to assist you during your time of need.
