Wednesday is the deadline for people who had their homes lost or damaged in the Marshall Fire to apply for disaster assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and U.S. Small Business Administration.
Affected residents can apply for the federal assistance through the end of the day Wednesday, according to state and federal officials.
The SBA has received 1,789 home loan applications and another 191 business applications. Four hundred sixty-six SBA home loans have been approved worth nearly $75 million, while 25 business loans have been approved to the tune of $4.1 million. Both FEMA and the SBA have said they will not duplicate benefits covered by people’s insurance, and Stolzmann said the agencies have been working hard to fill those gaps beyond the coverage.
“Even if they tell you [that] you get nothing from the SBA or tell you the application is withdrawn … as long as you get in by the deadline, it can be reconsidered within six months,” Stolzmann said. “…We’ve been working on this for over a month, but if we get it resolved in the next few weeks, we’d put out an informational blast to people so they know how to submit for reconsideration.”
According to a filing with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, Michael Brown, the former FEMA administrator under President George W. Bush and current 630 KHOW talk radio host, is behind the group.Durbin told Denver7 the delay in rebuilding, which officials had originally expected to begin Tuesday in line with the company’s promises, “is incredibly frustrating to our community.”
