Burlington, Ont., residents whose homes were flooded after extreme rainstorms last July can now apply for up to $250,000 in disaster relief from the province. 

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing made the announcement Friday, months after heavy rain soaked the Greater Toronto Area, and Hamilton. 

On July 15 and 16, about 80 millimetres of rain fell in the Halton region, causing creeks and sewers to overflow and flooding roads, backyards and basements in some Burlington neighbourhoods.
