Apply for Disaster Recovery Assistance (homeowners & tenants) without retyping your details

When the program is activated after a natural disaster, homeowners and tenants can apply for help with essential repairs and items — and the application repeats your name, address, and contact details. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Apply for Disaster Recovery Assistance — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians – Homeowners and Tenants — 017-2234

What this form is about

The program helps residents recover the cost of repairing their home and replacing essential items after a natural disaster, when it has been activated for the area.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name and address.
• Details of the damage and repair/replacement costs.
• Quotes, receipts, and supporting documents.

Confirm the program is activated for your area and the deadline on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store your details once. Save your name and address in hivi.
2. Autofill the application. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
3. Add the damage details and documents.
4. Review and submit yourself within the deadline.

Why do it in hivi

After a disaster, you may face several forms at once. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with self-hosted AI — each one starts mostly filled, which is one less thing to manage.
