Over 1,700 residents received financial assistance from the County of Sonoma due to damages from the 2023 winter storms. The Board of Supervisors got an update at their last meeting about the assistance. Over $800-thousand was distributed from the Immediate Needs Fund to those impacted most by the winter storms. Funding amounts to individuals ranged from $250 to $800. They were used to keep individuals housed, mitigate wage loss, prevent food insecurity and assist with paying for alternative housing for those who needed to evacuate. Assessments were done at Recovery Support Centers to categorize needs and distribution amounts. Overall, nearly $1.19 million remains in the Immediate Needs Fund.
