Hurricane Ida survivors who have applied with FEMA for disaster assistance may be considered for FEMA’s direct temporary housing.
FEMA determines if applicants are eligible for housing assistance and pairs them with the best available housing solution to meet their household needs. Not everyone will be eligible; however, FEMA’s temporary housing options can provide support to survivors who qualify.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell traveled to Louisiana earlier this week, where she met with parish presidents and faith leaders leading Hurricane Ida recovery efforts in their communities.
Now is the time to strengthen your home and make it disaster resistant, before the next natural disaster strikes Louisiana.
FEMA extended the deadline to submit a Proof of Loss form to 180 days after your reported date of loss to allow Louisiana policyholders who suffered flood damage from Hurricane Ida additional time to evaluate their losses and the adjuster’s reports. Normally, the deadline to submit a Standard Flood Insurance Policy (SFIP) Proof of Loss is within 60 days of the loss.
