The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says that students and renters whose homes and property were damaged in the Guadalupe River floods can apply for federal assistance once they have applied an insurance claim.
Additional assistance that may cover anything insurance won't includes one or two months of rent for temporary housing, funds to repair or replace appliances, furniture, textbooks, or school supplies, and funds to repair job related equipment for anyone who is self-employed.
Financial assistance may also be available to replace vehicles or to pay for moving expenses, child care or health care.
The deadline to apply is Sept. 4. The fastest way to apply at DisasterAssistance.gov. More information is available here.
The organizations working together to help the flood victims said that the best way to help is with monetary donations.
