How Much Money is Awarded?
Successful applicants will receive a one-time $500 emergency relief payment.
What Can the Funds be Used For?
Use of the funds is restricted to household expenses, such as groceries, home utilities, medical bills, counseling, or other household expenses not directly related to the commercial operation of the farm or ranch. The funds may not be used for any business expense or investment.
