No matter where you are in your recovery journey, this section connects you to a wide range of tools and support to help you take the next step. On this page, you can link to all resources, download a copy of the resource list, explore resources by category, and browse Frequently Asked Questions.
If you already know the type of assistance you need, you can browse resources by category to quickly find what you’re looking for.
I'm looking for specific information, how can I narrow the list of resources to what I am looking for?
From the Resources list on the website, you can use the drop down menus to filter based on the the resource categories (see above), your user type (e.g renter, business owner, etc.), the recovery phase (e.g. early, ongoing, and long term), your income level (see the Income Qualifications Requirements section above), and the availability of the assistance for a given disaster.
From a saved version (see below), you can use the same filtering options, plus search by primary organization, and use a keyword search (e.g. ctrl+f).
I am having trouble scrolling, how can I see all the resources when the list is filtered?
When a list is filtered, keep your cursor outside the table to navigate up and down the page or use the scroll bar on the far right side. You can also download a CSV copy of the file (linked above) and open it with your preferred software (e.g. Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets).
Can I save a copy of the Resources list?
Yes. Use the link above to download the searchable CSV file. If you save the file as .xls or a similar file type from Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or a similar software, you can save notes in your own copy, but it will not update unless you download a new version.
If you open the saves file in a software like Excel or Sheets, you can use the built in "Find" tool (e.g. ctrl+f) for keyword searches and the filter tool to narrow down the lists to the information you are most interested in.
Are all eligibility criteria for the resources provided?
Basic information is included about who each resources is meant to help. Many programs - especially ones that provide financial assistance - have specific rules that are not listed here. For the most up to date and complete details, visit the resource's website.
What are the income categories and how do I know if I qualify?
Some recovery programs are based on household income, which helps determine what kind of assistance you may qualify for. This tool uses common definitions for these categories, but not all programs use the same definitions. When deciding whether to apply for a program, it is best to look at the specific program eligibility so you don't miss out on programs you may be eligible for. If you have any question about whether you qualify, contact the program directly or submit an application - this allows program experts to look at your specific case and make a determination. Commonly used income categories for disaster recovery programs are:
Low Income generally means your household earns less than 80% of your area's median income. You may qualify for programs like SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and certain income-based assistance.
Moderate Income usually means your household earns between 80% and 120% of the area median income. You may qualify for support programs with slightly higher income limits.
High Income typically means your household earns more than 120% of the area median income. While you may not qualify for income-based aid, many programs—such as FEMA assistance, Red Cross services, or insurance claim help—are still available to you.
Quick Steps to Determine Your Category
Find your county or metro area (for example: Denver–Aurora, Boulder County).
Open the income limit chart.
Look up the number of people in your household.
Compare your gross (before-tax) income to the chart.
Example
If you're a 4-person household in the Denver–Aurora area and the AMI is $104,200:
Low income = $83,360 or less
Moderate income = $83,361 to $125,040
High income = Over $125,040
