The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that West Virginia will receive federal disaster assistance following severe storms, flooding, and landslides that hit the state last month. The aid includes a 90-day moratorium on mortgage foreclosures, an extension for Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, and FHA insurance for disaster victims. This assistance aims to help residents rebuild their homes, neighborhoods, and businesses that were affected by the natural disaster. The storms, which occurred on Feb. 15, resulted in several deaths, damaged infrastructure, and caused widespread flooding. Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a State of Emergency in 10 counties, and President Donald Trump issued a Major Disaster Declaration to provide federal resources to support recovery efforts. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito thanked HUD for providing additional resources to help West Virginians impacted by the storms and aid in the rebuilding and strengthening of communities for the future.HUD emphasized its commitment to supporting disaster response as part of its mission to serve communities and provide financial flexibility and disaster recovery resources. HUD also pledged to connect residents with housing counseling agencies to assess their needs and inform them of available resources. This federal disaster aid from HUD is a crucial step in helping West Virginia residents recover and rebuild after the devastating storms that struck the state last month.
