HARRISBURG, PA. – Just four months after President Biden approved a
major disaster declaration for eight counties in Pennsylvania, FEMA
has provided over $100 million for homeowners and renters affected by
the remnants of Hurricane Ida.

FEMA has provided $74.7 million for housing assistance as well as
$25.6 million for other needs assistance.

In addition, the U.S. Small Business Administration has provided more
than $47 million in loans to 1,028 households and 73 businesses.

The National Flood Insurance Program has also paid out $80.2 million
to 1,465 claimants.

This brings to a total more than $227 million in federal assistance
that went directly into the hands of survivors in Bedford, Bucks,
Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and York
counties and allowed them to start on their road to recovery and
return to a sense of normalcy.

These numbers are likely to increase as FEMA continues to process
registrations received by the January 10, 2022 deadline.

FEMA would like to remind people that disaster assistance is not a
substitute for insurance and cannot compensate for all losses caused
by a disaster. This assistance is intended to meet basic needs and
supplement disaster recovery efforts.
