News and Media: Disaster 4607

Renters in Washtenaw and Wayne counties whose homes and personal property were damaged by the June 25-26 storms and flooding can apply for federal disaster assistance. FEMA’s Individual Assistance program is available to all eligible renters, including students, as well as homeowners. Federal grants may help pay for temporary housing if a primary home is not able to be lived in because of the disaster.

Michiganders in Washtenaw and Wayne counties who were affected by the June floods and still need help have many resources to support their rebuilding efforts. Review FEMA’s flood recovery checklist to ensure you’ve taken all the steps in your federal assistance process.

More than $58.5 million has already been approved in FEMA grants and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans to help residents affected by the June 25-26, 2021 flooding in southeast Michigan.

Michiganders who disagree with FEMA’s assistance decision have the option to submit an appeal and have their case reconsidered.

As southeast Michigan survivors clean and repair damage to their homes caused by the severe storms and flooding that occurred June 25-26, 2021, FEMA has teamed up with Hammer Time True Value Hardware in Detroit to provide free information, tips and literature on making homes and businesses stronger and safer.
