MONTPELIER, Vt. -
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin announced a plan for homeowners who are ineligible for FEMA buyouts Tuesday.
A press release says that the state will use CDBG disaster recovery funds to cover 75% of the cost to towns buying out homes that would have been found ineligible under FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
The Stratton Foundation will make up to $80,000 available for the four homes in Jamaica, Vt. that were lost in Tropical Storm Irene. The Vermont Disaster Relief Fund welcomes applications from Jamaica, Vt. homeowners who have remaining unmet needs.
"These Vermonters have been in limbo for too long and the news that their buyouts would not be approved by FEMA was another setback," said Gov. Shumlin. "We are making these funds available to allow the Town of Jamaica to buy out the properties and the homeowners to move forward with their lives."
The funding comes from a $21.6 million allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Vermont Department of Economic, Housing and Community Development. The funding results from a provision Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Rep. Peter Welch championed in last year's federal budget bill.
