Accessing Assistance Following A Weather Disaster

Below is some information/guidelines for the HCR grant reimbursement program that you can share with homeowners impacted by the recent storm. 

• If a homeowner completed the homeowner inquiry form, they will receive a notification when the local administrators open the application. 
• Program guidelines are posted online here: https://hcr.ny.gov/resilient-and-ready-program-guidelines-long-island-storm. These guidelines will describe generally eligible or ineligible repairs.
• Homeowners will be required to provide documentation to allow the Local Program Administrators to verify eligibility criteria including, but not limited to income, ownership of the home, primary residency, insurance coverage and specific storm damage. Homeowners should prepare by documenting storm damage with clear photographs and retaining invoices for any storm repair work completed for consideration as well as preparing copies of documentation related to each of the other stated eligibility criteria: ID, deeds to document ownership, tax returns, insurance denial documentation. These materials should be provided to the Local Program Administrator at the time of the application. Please do not send this to HCR.
