Disaster Relief Program

Through the Disaster Relief Program, FHLBank Indianapolis members can assist homeowners affected by natural disasters in Indiana and Michigan by providing funds for qualified repairs. Disaster Relief Program grants are only available after a declared disaster.

The Disaster Relief Program is open now through July 31.

Disaster Relief funds are now available to members serving the 63 counties affected by Indiana's recent disaster declaration. See "Household Income Limits by County" here or below for a complete list of affected counties. 

How do members use the Disaster Relief Program?

The Disaster Relief Program is available to FHLBank Indianapolis members who submit the required registration documents once the program has been opened in response to a state or federally declared disaster within the Bank's district. See "Getting started with Disaster Relief" below for more information.

How do homeowners access Disaster Relief Program funds?

FHLBank Indianapolis does not work directly with households. To inquire about Disaster Relief Program funds, you must reach out to a participating member financial institution. Please view the Member Directory for a complete list of all member financial institutions.
