On the recordOctober 5, 2000
The bill caps ``non-means-tested'' emergency home repair assistance at $5,000. In other words, as long as insurance proceeds were not available, an individual or household would be eligible for up to $5,000 of emergency home repair assistance before he/she was required to seek additional assistance from other sources, such as the SBA Disaster Loan Program. If that individual or household was not able to obtain an SBA loan, then he/she could be eligible for additional emergency home repair assistance, as long as the total amount of FEMA assistance to this individual or household does not exceed $25,000.
