Financial Assistance

helps local and tribal governments recover after a disaster.

NCORR offers grants up to $1 million to financially distressed local and tribal governments for short-term assistance with everyday operating expenses such as general payroll, certain non-disaster-related vendor payments and debt service. Grants can also be used to expand capacity for disaster recovery, including funding up to two time-limited positions, contracting for disaster recovery services and purchasing a vehicle.

NCORR is no longer accepting applications for this grant program, all funds have been obligated at this time.

NCORR offers zero-interest loans up to $2 million for assistance with disaster-related expenses while local governments await reimbursement from federal disaster response, recovery and resiliency programs. If approved, the municipality must repay the loan principal amount once it receives federal reimbursements.
