The September 2, 2021, Amendment to FEMA Policy (FP) 104-009-03, Individual Assistance Program and Policy Guide (IAPPG), Version 1.1 memorandum also amended the Home Repair Assistance section in IAPPG 1.1 to include financial assistance to repair real property components impacted by disaster-caused mold growth. The amendment's expressed intent was to support low income and other underserved disaster survivors who may not have the means to immediately address disaster damage, particularly when disasters are not declared immediately or inspections are delayed. However, all applicants with disaster-caused mold damage may be eligible for the assistance when they meet all other conditions of eligibility. These additional funds will be provided as part of the Home Repair Assistance award when applicable.
