Virginia Disaster Assistance Fund

The Virginia Disaster Assistance Fund (VDAF) is a $50 million state program providing financial relief to Virginians whose homes, businesses, farms, or community infrastructure were destroyed or heavily damaged by natural disaster. It also funds large mitigation projects to protect community infrastructure against future disasters. Financial assistance is available for bridge repairs or reconstruction, slope stabilization and retaining walls, structural reinforcements, and infrastructure repair and upgrades. Funding is distributed through partner organizations (local governments and regional Planning District Commissions). Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds are distributed.
