Floods Recovery Minister John Healey has allocated funding to 39 local authorities who were worst affected by the July floods.
Around £1.2 million is being released to the councils is in addition to the £6.2million distributed to 36 local authorities last week. Local counsils will be free to decide how best to use the money allocated to help those people in the greatest need.
As before the funding has been allocated to support councils and communities based on the relative number of households affected.
Today's announcement means that around £17.5 million of funding has now been released to help vulnerable households following this summer's floods. Some of this is already being used to provide essential items for thousands of families allowing them to stay in their homes and helping keep communities together.
The minister said said: "I am pleased to be quickly releasing further payments to local authorities to help those people in their communities most in need following the July floods. I know that local authorities are already planning how to make best use of the money we paid last week so this additional funding will be a welcome addition to these plans.
"Over the last few weeks we have worked closely with local authorities to get a clear assessment of damage to ensure we could target support to areas most in need. I know this money will make a difference to communities as will the other financial support we have announced - including funding for schools and transport, as well as extra support through the special Bellwin scheme and help for businesses.
"While so much has already been achieved clearly life in many communities will not return to normal for some time. That's why we are committed to working with insurers, councils, business and other agencies over the coming months to ensure that everything possible is being done to help local recovery efforts."
Today's announcement of payments to local authorities worst affected by the July floods brings the total paid out to almost £7.5 million.
