How to Extend Your Temporary Housing Assistance Improvements
Abstract
Jackie is a 27-year-old restaurant manager in Georgia. A hurricane damaged her apartment, making it unsafe to live in. She joined FEMA’s temporary housing program, but her time in FEMA-supported housing was running out. Since her restaurant job had not reopened, she had no income to find a new home. She worked with a FEMA caseworker, provided the needed documents, and was approved to stay longer. This gave her more time to find a long-term housing plan. If you need FEMA help, visit disasterassistance.gov or call 800-621-3362.
