New York Homes and Community Renewal is launching an emergency repair program for homeowners in Allegany, Delaware, Franklin, Steuben, and St. Lawrence Counties impacted by the storm.

“State agencies have teams on the ground helping to clear damage and we are working with our local partners as they begin damage assessments,” Hochul said. “We will continue to provide rapid relief for impacted residents and municipalities as these communities rebuild from the devastating remnants of Hurricane Debby.”
Severe weather rolled through the region last week and caused extensive flooding.
"As these state-based resources are deployed, disaster recovery experts from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services have begun working with their local counterparts to assess damage statewide in order to determine the state’s ability to request federal disaster relief resources from FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration," Hochul's office states.
Grants Up To $50,000 Available To Eligible Homeowners
According to Hochul's office, grants of up to $50,000 are now available to eligible homeowners in Allegany, Delaware, Franklin, Steuben, and St. Lawrence counties. Officials say the money can be used to address health and safety repairs that are not covered by insurance or other disaster relief programs.

"The program will be administered by local partners who will work directly with affected homeowners and assist them with insurance claims, the repair and reconstruction process and reimbursement requests," Hochul's Office stated in a press release.
