Flood victims head to new FEMA office

Jvl Gazette

...Homeowners who qualify for SBA disaster loans can receive up to $200,000 and qualified renters up to $40,000.

People need to apply by Aug. 13 for physical damage loans and by March 13, 2009, for economic injury loans through the SBA, Dawson said. If people fail to apply, Dawson said they will not qualify for federal aid.

If applicants are denied SBA loans, they still might qualify for other federal aid through FEMA, he said.
