A:
Yes, the SBA can deny a homeowner for a home disaster loan, even if the area has been declared a disaster by the state and federal government. Approval for the loan depends on factors such as your credit history, ability to repay, and any previous debt obligations. If these factors don't meet the SBA's requirements, your loan application could be rejected.
If your loan is denied, you will receive a detailed explanation of the reason. However, you do have the option to appeal the decision. During the appeal process, you may need to provide additional documentation or address any concerns raised in the initial review.
It's important to apply as soon as possible after the disaster declaration and to gather all necessary documents to strengthen your case. This can increase your chances of approval or a successful appeal if you're initially denied.
