SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego victims of the Jan. 22 storm and flooding are running out of time to apply for assistance from the federal government.
Friday, April 19, is the deadline for victims to apply for aid from FEMA; the agency says so far, more than 2,600 households have already been approved for more than $20 million in relief funds.
FEMA confirmed to ABC 10News that applicants may see a "late registration" prompt when on the disaster assistance website. The agency “encourages everyone affected by the January flooding to apply” and they are working to address what they are referring to a “software bug" on the site.
Victims have until midnight to submit an application.
This week, FEMA went to the hotels where flood victims were staying to find people who had yet to apply for funds ahead of the deadline.
The money can go toward short-term rental assistance, home repairs and other essential needs.
