More than $1 million in funding is available to assist eligible renters affected by the Aug. 10 derecho in 12 counties, the Iowa Finance Authority board of directors announced this week. Anawim Housing, the city of Cedar Rapids and the Eastern Iowa Housing Corporation were each awarded $364,000 to provide rental assistance to eligible renters, who are encouraged to contact one of those agencies to apply. Renters must have a household income at or below 80% of the area median income.
