The Iowa Individual Disaster Assistance Grant Program (IIAGP), operated by the Iowa Community Action Association in Cherokee, Iowa, provides critical financial support to families impacted by disasters. Activated when the Governor issues a disaster proclamation, this program offers grants of up to $5,000 to qualifying households with an annual income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. These funds can be used for essential needs such as temporary housing, food assistance, replacement of personal property, and home repairs, ensuring families can begin to rebuild their lives after a disaster. To access assistance, interested individuals can download the application and submit it to a local Community Action Association by the specified deadline.
