Mississippi is responding to questions from residents about aid following the January winter storm. The state has been approved for federal Public Assistance, which supports local governments and infrastructure projects, according to officials.
However, a request for Individual Assistance, aimed at helping homeowners affected by the storm, is still under review. Officials emphasized that Public Assistance is designated for local governments, while Individual Assistance is for individual residents.
State officials continue to await further guidance from federal authorities regarding the approval of individual aid for storm-impacted residents.
