An additional extension has been granted for two government programs that financially help Sandy survivors in New York State, announced Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Anyone living in New York City and Long Island, or the counties of Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Sullivan who suffered losses from the storm, including rent, essential home repairs and personal property losses may be eligible for grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will have until April 13 to register for FEMA assistance.
The previous deadline was March 29.
Survivors also have until April 13 to register with the Small Business Administration (SBA) for low-interest disaster loans.
Homeowners that apply may be eligible for up to $200,000 to repair or replace damages to their primary residence, and renters can receive up to $40,000 for replacement of personal property. Additionally, businesses and private nonprofits may be able to borrow up to $2 million for repairs and replacement of property.
To register with FEMA, visit www.DisasterAssistance.gov or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST, seven days a week.
