The guidelines of the Direct Housing Natural Disaster Loans and Grants program also requires that in order for a homeowner to avail of a loan or a grant, he/she should be able to clearly prove and establish that his/her residential property has been physically damaged as a result of a natural disaster.

In addition, the funds that will provided for under the Direct Housing Natural Disaster Loans and Grants will only be made available in instances where the Federal Emergency Management Agency has refused or has not been able to provide funding for similar purposes.

Interested homeowners can fill out an application for the Direct Housing Natural Disaster Loans and Grants program in the nearest Rural Development field office serving the county where the dwelling is located.

Loan applicants will only be deemed eligible to submit an application for the program if they own and occupy a home that has been directly damaged by a natural disaster; and only if they have a sufficient income that will enable them to repay for the loan in the future.

Grant applicants must be homeowners who are 62 years old and above and must be able to demonstrate no means of repaying the funds that have been awarded to them.

The Department of Agriculture, the mother agency funding the Direct Housing Natural Disaster Loans and Grants program, is the country's leading agency that is mainly liable for all anti-hunger, safety, and conservation efforts.
