HUD Delivers Disaster Aid, Financial Flexibility for Virginia Residents Impacted by Winter Storms and Flooding

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced the availability of Federal disaster assistance to the Commonwealth of Virginia to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe winter storms and flooding from Feb. 10-18, 2025. President Trump issued a Major Disaster Declaration on April 4, 2025 for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

“HUD is here to support Virginians as they rebuild their homes, communities, and businesses following the severe winter storms and flooding,” said Secretary Turner. “Disaster response is a foundational part of our mission-minded approach to serving American communities as they work to rebuild.”

“I am grateful to President Trump and the entire Administration for approving federal disaster assistance for the Commonwealth of Virginia. These resources aid recovery efforts in the areas of Southwest Virginia affected by Hurricane Helene last fall along with the severe flooding brought on by February’s winter storms,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Thank you to Secretary Turner and his team for their strong partnership supporting Virginians adversely impacted by these storms.”

“Parts of Southwest Virginia faced intense flooding during a wave of February winter storms. The resulting damage to businesses and homes impacted many people in Southwest Virginia who were in the middle of recovering from Hurricane Helene. Secretary Turner’s announcement to extend natural disaster aid and financial flexibility resources to Southwest Virginia will help our communities access vital recovery services,” said U.S. Representative Morgan Griffith (VA-09).
