It looks like South Milwaukeeans who suffered flood damage in the July storms may receive federal aid after all.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story:
Federal officials, reacting to an appeal, have decided to make federal flood aid available to individuals in Milwaukee and Grant Counties, Gov. Jim Doyle announced Saturday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency had previously approved disaster aid only for local governments in the two counties following the record flooding.
Millions of dollars in loans and grants will flow into the state to affected residents, said Lori Getter of the Wisconsin Emergency Management division.
“This is good news,” said Getter.
The application process for aid will start immediately.
I’ll keep you posted as to how to apply.
