Properties impacted by the River Murray flood, without insurance, will be able to access up to $10,000 in grants to help with structural repairs or even replacing a house.
The state and federal government have allocated $1.72 million for re-establishment grants for people whose principal place of resident was affected.
A different $10,000 grant is also available to help replace essential household and personal effects that were damaged or lost, such as whitegoods, appliances, furniture and electronics.
SA Human Services Minister Nat Cook said the grants will allow recovery work on properties to begin as soon as possible.
"Owners can now focus their attention on repairing their homes and rebuilding along the River Murray," he said.
Applications for a re-establishment grant must be made in person at the local Recovery Centre at Murray Bridge and Mannum, or the Housing SA office in Berri, and will be subject to income testing.
Federal Emergency Minister Murray Watt said these grants would provide targeted relief to flood-affected communities.
"I encourage all uninsured property owners who have been impacted by flooding to apply at their local Recovery Centre as soon as possible," he said.

Premier Peter Malinauskas said the state government would continue to work with the federal government in delivering grants.
"These grants will provide flood-affected property owners the opportunity to start to rebuild," he said.
