Victims like Anna Ortega are eager to apply.
"I don't have no family in Florida can go to living or anything like that so this is my house," said Ortega.
She says her insurance policy doesn't cover disaster losses, and she's facing $70,000 in damages.
Applicants can apply for loans to cover up to $200,000 in uninsured property damage and $40,000 dollars in personal household losses.
