Lilac fire affected properties may be eligible for federal disaster grants

Homeowners or renters affected by the Lilac Fire are encouraged to register for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant that can help cover temporary housing assistance, essential home repairs and uninsured or underinsured personal property losses. Residents and business owners can also apply for a low interest loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Residents who suffered these kinds of property losses in the fire or who have other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance may apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by phone at 800-621-3362 or (TTY) 800-462-7585...
