Flood Recovery Program Application Form
Important Information
- The purpose of the Flood Recovery Program for Displaced Residents is to promote housing stability among City of San Diego families displaced by the torrential winter storms of January 2024.
- The San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) will provide financial assistance options to promote housing stability for displaced City of San Diego families in their former homes or to establish new leases in new housing. Individuals and families must be eligible for and have been enrolled in the County of San Diego's Emergency Temporary Lodging (ETL) program as of May 23, 2024, to qualify for SDHC's financial assistance program. Families who were ineligible for FEMA assistance will be prioritized for financial assistance.
- Families who were eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance will receive unit search assistance. Financial assistance from SDHC would likely disqualify FEMA-eligible families from receiving ongoing FEMA rental assistance, currently set at up to 18 months for rental assistance and up to $42,500 for stabilization assistance, including, but not limited to, medical/dental, childcare, personal property and transportation. To avoid the risk of FEMA-eligible families becoming disqualified from FEMA assistance by receiving duplicate assistance, SDHC will provide unit search assistance to help locate a new home that can be secured using the family's FEMA financial assistance. This will allow FEMA-assistance recipients to dedicate their FEMA financial awards toward housing expenses. If additional financial assistance beyond FEMA financial awards is needed to restabilize in housing, SDHC may provide gap financial assistance to cover documented housing expense needs not covered by FEMA financial awards. Assistance to FEMA-eligible families will only be considered after all FEMA-ineligible families have been assisted and will be based on funding availability.
