DISASTER RECOVERY PROGRAMS INFORMATION
Virginia Disaster Assistance Fund (VDAF)
The Virginia Disaster Assistance Fund (VDAF) is a state program that provides financial relief to Virginians whose homes, businesses, and farms were destroyed or severely damaged by Tropical Storm Helene or the February 2025 storms, and funding for mitigation projects to protect against future disasters.
The purpose of VDAF is to provide funding for disaster mitigation and relief for qualified residents to cover needs otherwise unmet by insurance, federal relief, state relief, and other relief (including charities or in-kind services, construction, or reconstruction, etc.).
Resilient Virginia Revolving Loan Fund (RVRF)
The Resilient Virginia Revolving Loan Fund (RVRF) is a state program that may provide financial relief to those who do not qualify for the Virginia Disaster Assistance Fund (VDAF) because their eligible recovery needs exceed funding limits.
In the Virginia counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Tazewell, application intake for both VDAF and RVRF is administered by the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission.
All applications are processed through and approved or denied by state agencies within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
* Please note that VDAF Part 1 applications in Tazewell County are handled by the Tazewell County Administrator’s Office and by the Buchanan County Department of Social Services in Buchanan County.
