Residents of the Philadelphia area whose homes were damaged by the severe storm on July 11 can now apply for assistance with repairs. Low-interest loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration are available to residents of Philadelphia, Bucks, Delaware and Montgomery counties whose homes, nonprofits or businesses were damaged during the storm. Pennsylvania’s Disaster Recovery Assistance Program, established in 2022, is meant to fill gaps in recovery assistance for low- and moderate-income disaster survivors. Residents can apply online or in person through one of the Disaster Loan Outreach Centers.
