I recommend to everyone on AR, if you are not aware of this site, to please take some time and read the various links on the FSA (Farm Services of America) government website. Many people affected by the floods, tornadoes, and other disasters may be eligible for some of these programs.
www.fsa/usda.gov (The left hand border will have Subject links and the 5th one will be Disaster Assistance)
Do not assume your client does not qualify and do not assume that if not mentioned on the website, there is not a program available...ASK your local FSA what programs your clients may qualify under.
Why do I know not to assume and to ask? Because it is the federal government and it so complex.
I have only scratched the surface in my knowledge of the site and I know I am far more educated on the FSA site than most. I still have to ask.
Many times when I talk with a traditional agent who lists in the MLS and does mostly homes in cities and towns, they are not aware of what is available to their clients from the FSA. Most are appreciative that I point out the FSA site to them.
Look for the links to the left and also for the state link in the header which will take you to your local FSA office. Every state and county has an office somewhere that covers for your area.
Will all of your clients qualify for something? NO But if just one of your clients does...and they found out about it from you...what a great feather in your cap!!
Until next time....
