TRENTON, N.J. – Six months since the Sept. 5 federal disaster declaration for the remnants of Hurricane Ida in New Jersey, $806 million in federal funding has been provided for survivors.

The breakdown of funds is as follows:
More than $237 million in FEMA housing grants to help pay for home repair, home replacement and rental assistance for temporary housing.
Nearly $247 million in U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loans approved for
homeowners, renters and business owners.
More than $314.3 million paid to National Flood Insurance Program policyholders statewide.
