The new pilot program will help New Yorkers from lower-income communities recover more quickly from major flooding events.
New York City has introduced a new pilot program that will help residents from lower-income communities recover more quickly from major flooding events.
The plan is designed in part to help frontline communities get quicker relief after disasters and make up for an often slow and complex payout process from private insurance providers. The program, launched by the non-profit groups Center for NYC Neighborhoods and the Environmental Defense Fund , will provide up to $1.1 million in emergency spending to low and moderate income households hit by flooding.
To be eligible for grants, a homeowner must live in a one-to-four-unit home and have a household income that is no more than 165% of the city's area median income.where climate change has prompted rising sea levels, worsening coastal storms and more frequent flood events.
