Marion County Receives $12 Million For Wildfire Recovery

(Salem, OR) -- Marion County will receive 12-million dollars from the State of Oregon to help nearly 100 households still fighting to rebuild following the 2020 Beachie Creek and Lionshead wildfires. The money comes from 150-million dollars the Legislature approved in 2021. Households can apply for grants as long as their income doesn't exceed 120 percent of the median. The county says the money will be able to support most of the households currently case managed, except for those that exceed the income level.
