The Town of Kingsville understands the challenges residents are facing following the August 24th and 25th storms and flooding events. We have been working closely with the Province to open up their Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians Program to Kingsville residents.

The program is designed to assist Ontarians in recovering costs associated with natural disasters, such as floods or tornadoes.

Eligibility for the program includes small owner-operated businesses or farms, not-for-profit organizations, homeowners (primary residence only) and residential tenants. If the Province activates the program for Kingsville, you can apply for assistance.

Financial help from the program is limited to $250,000 per application and is subject to a $500 deductible. However, this deductible may be waived for low-income households. The program reimburses up to 90% of your total eligible costs, with limits for emergency expenses, household appliances, and furnishings.

Please note the program is not intended to replace insurance coverage, and any insurance payments will be deducted from eligible costs.

Please review the eligibility requirements on the Province’s Disaster Recovery Assistance page to understand the program guidelines and supporting documentation required.

If you feel you qualify, please fill out your details on our Assessment Form so we can add you to our list of assessment properties. 

Please note, we are using this information to request the Province open this program to Kingsville residents. If we are successful, you will need to apply directly with the Province. We will contact you via email to advise if the program has been opened.
