Santiam Canyon Wildfire Relief Fund is now accepting applications for Round One Recovery Grants. Homeowners who lost their primary residence in the Labor Day wildfires in the Santiam Canyon are eligible to apply for the $1,000 grants.
Applicants must meet all three eligibility requirements for Round One grants: 1) Applicant must own residential property in the Santiam Canyon; 2) Residential property was a total loss due to the Beachie Creek Fire; and, 3) Lost residential property was the primary residence of the applicant.
Subsequent SCWRF Recovery Grant Rounds will have broader eligibility requirements, allowing residents with varying degrees of property ownership to apply for direct funding. Information on future grant opportunities will be released at a later date.
