ia@dhs.in.govApply for State Disaster Relief Fund individual assistance
IDHS has opened applications to the State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) for residents who incurred damage to their homes or property located in qualifying jurisdictions from the following disaster events:
- May 15-16, 2025: Severe Storms
- June 30, 2025: Flooding
Applications to help with immediate needs will be capped at $2,000 initially, although eligible homeowners could receive additional assistance after a complete damage assessment is finished. The SDRF applies only to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. State funding cannot replace insurance coverage, which is the primary and best source of protection from storm damage. The fund only addresses the costs of repairing, replacing or restoring property that is the primary residence of the applicant.
Apply for assistance online, or dial 211 or 866-211-9966 to reach Indiana 211. A 211 representative can walk you through the application process and help you understand the next steps.
SBA disaster loans available
Businesses and residents of several Indiana counties are eligible to apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Find the application deadlines for multiple incidents on the Disaster Declarations page. Disaster Loan Outreach Center locations and times can be found using the table at the bottom of the page.
