Flood aid organization opens Tuesday

Larimer County residents who suffered losses from September flooding will be able to get help from a group of more than 50 nonprofit agencies, government organizations, faith-based groups and citizens.

The Long-Term Recovery Group will set up flood victims with case managers who will assess situations, identify resources and refer residents to possible sources of aid, including funding available from the Long-Term Recovery Fund.

Case managers are available in Loveland beginning Tuesday. An appointment is needed to meet with a case manager, and residents can begin to make appointments on Tuesday by calling 970-461-2222.

The organization will consider in its decisions to distribute funding factors such as flood victims’ finances and whether they have a documented disability or health problem. Other factors include whether a flood victim is a single parent or elderly or has an immediate need for safe housing.
