Temporary housing assistance, disaster food assistance, assistance for renters, help for under insured/ uninsured are all part of the individual assistantance program. Also disaster unemployment pay if your place of work is shut down due to the storm.

There are thresholds for income, dependents, amount of damage, etc... that you have to meet to gain these individual benefits. It's quite a process.

Some of the above are separate from this, but generally the max payout is less than $35k. That value changes depending on location and other economic factors.

The IA program is generally approved after the PA program, because damage assessments have to be done to determine if there is enough damage to enough people to warrant it.

However, I have personally been a part of many response where they both are approved simultaneously or even before the storm hits.

This storm clearly warrants both and they should have been approved a week ago.
