            As Lake Ontario\u2019s southern shoreline recovers after unprecedented flooding this past spring and summer, Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) is encouraging impacted residents and businesses to apply for relief funding through the Lake Ontario\n Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative (REDI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The Department of Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) is administering a 2019 Individual Homeowner Assistance Program that will provide residents in the impacted eight-county region up to $50,000 in state funding to help offset damages to their\n primary residences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Funding to address damages to secondary homes may be considered following fulfillment of primary residence applications and Hawley is encouraging secondary homeowners to apply before the October deadline.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLake Ontario\u2019s unprecedented high water levels and subsequent flooding the past several years have caused a great deal of destruction to homes and businesses along the shoreline, but we are implementing a package of state aid that will\n put us on the road to recovery,\u201d Hawley said. It is crucial that those who were impacted by flooding submit their applications before October 31 to become eligible. I am eager to work with state and local leaders to see that homeowners, businesses and municipalities\n receive the help they need moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Applicants are eligible to receive funding for costs not covered by other sources, such as insurance, and include primary homeowners who reside in the eight counties associated with REDI – Cayuga, Jefferson, Monroe, Niagara,\n Orleans, Oswego, St. Lawrence and Wayne – and meet the below criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
