LOCH LOMOND, Calif. – The Seigler Springs Community Redevelopment Association will continue to distribute remaining relief funds available from the American Red Cross to qualified survivors of the Valley fire until June 15.

The original deadline was May 31, and has been extended by the Red Cross.  

Valley fire survivors who think they qualify should contact their disaster case manager, if they have one.

The present Red Cross qualifications include complete destruction of the home and being uninsured or underinsured at the time of the emergency; and not already having received supplemental financial assistance from the Red Cross between January and December 2016 and January to May 2017.

Special consideration will continue to be given to those who have low capacity or are dependent on social services because of need as elderly (65+ yrs old), disabled, veteran, low literacy or low income.

The supplemental amount possible is up to $1,000 and the actual award amount will depend on verification of the client's circumstances.

Each nationally recognized disaster agency works with different requirements in the case of a declared disaster. These requirements are flexible as time passes beyond the initial crisis and survivors' needs and circumstances change.
