FEMA continues to support Georgia businesses, families affected by Hurricane Helene
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – FEMA is continuing to support recovery efforts in Georgia after the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene last year.
The agency announced it is assisting survivors with long-term housing and immediate necessities. According to FEMA, more than $12 million in rental assistance has been provided to more than 4,960 families in Georgia.
Survivors can also take advantage of the Disaster Assistance Program, which provides free legal help to low-income survivors who were directly affected by Helene and cannot hire an attorney. Services typically provided include help with home repair contracts and contractors, insurance claims for doctor and hospital bills, loss of property, loss of life, advice on problems with landlords, and FEMA appeals.
The deadline for U.S. Small Business Administration economic injury disaster loans is June 30.
