Would you like to determine your ability to qualify for a grant and/or loan funding to address your septic problems?
With a little information from you, the Fight the Flood (FTF) staff can evaluate your septic needs and respond with funding opportunities that you are eligible for. Please note that these funding programs can NOT reimburse for past work you have performed.
Loans have low interest rates and offer more immediate assistance. Grant funding eligibility varies and can take time to access (sometimes months to years). It is important to consider the urgency of your need.
