ReCover California Launches Program for Homeowners Affected by the 2020 Disasters

ReCover California Program - website

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has launched its ReCoverCA Housing Programs for those affected by 2020 disasters.

If you or someone you know lost their single-family home or manufactured housing unit in a 2020 disaster or has mitigation or home-hardening needs on their property, please help us spread the word about ReCoverCA Housing Programs. Homeowners may be eligible for up to $500,000 to help rebuild, depending on unique housing needs. Some homeowners may also qualify for up to $50,000 for mitigation assistance, even if the home sustained no damage from the disasters.

ReCoverCA administers HUD CDBG-DR funds to assist with owner-occupied single-family rehabilitation, reconstruction, and disaster mitigation for low- to moderate-income homeowners in counties impacted by FEMA-declared disasters in 2020 and identified as most impacted and distressed (MID) areas by HUD and HCD.

Eligible MID areas for ReCoverCA 2020 are:

• FEMA DR-4558—Butte, Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma Counties

• FEMA DR-4569—Fresno, Los Angeles, Napa, Shasta, Siskiyou, and Sonoma Counties
