Grants of up to £5,000 are being offered to South Lakeland property owners whose homes were flooded last month.
The money is to help residents to install measures to protect their homes against flooding in the future.
The cash is from central government funds, and will be handed out by SLDC.
The Prime Minister announced the scheme in December, and homes that were flooded between the 3rd and 11th of December 2015 would be eligible to apply.
