You’ll need a Keystone Login. Once signed in, search for “DRAP” and select the September storm event identified in the flyer.
Which program should you apply to first?
If your household does not receive income-based government assistance, you must first apply for an SBA disaster loan and be denied because of inability to repay or inadequate credit before qualifying for DRAP. Households receiving benefits such as SNAP, Medicaid, or TANF may apply directly to DRAP. Other eligibility requirements apply.
