2026 Indiana Storm Relief

Applications must be submitted by November 11, 2026. Complete applications are generally expected to be processed within three to five business days.

For those with immediate needs, Indiana 211 can also connect residents with housing, food, cleanup, shelter, and other community resources.

Our communities have been through an extraordinary few weeks. This initial funding is an important first step, and MIBOR will continue working to bring additional resources to central Indiana as our neighbors recover.
