Let It Flow: 2025 Water Crisis Recovery

The Fund will be open to Richmond residents with a demonstrated financial need related to the water crisis. Eligible expenses, which must be paid directly to the biller, may include rent, mortgage payments, health-related expenses, childcare, utilities, and missed car loan payments. The Fund will not begin accepting applications until Jan. 31. Residents will be able to apply both online and over the phone at that time. 

Individuals can support their neighbors by contributing to the Water Recovery Fund online.

The City of Richmond, along with small business and restaurant partners, is excited to announce Jan. 24 through Jan. 31 as Water Recovery Week. Residents are encouraged to Let It Flow and directly support local businesses impacted by the water crisis. 

Residents and business owners can share their participation and encouragement on social media using the hashtag #LetItFlowRVA.
