Alachua County residents and business owners impacted by Hurricane Helene are now eligible for financial assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
If you or someone you know experienced financial loss or home damage as a direct result of Hurricane Helene, please visit the FEMA disaster assistance page at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ or call 1-800-621-3362. Multilingual operators are available.
For businesses that need assistance, visit the SBA page at https://lending.sba.gov/. The SBA provides low-interest loans to businesses and individuals impacted by Hurricane Helene. These loans help reduce the immediate financial burden of repairs and other expenses not covered by insurance.
