FEMA’s Direct Temporary Housing program is only one component of a survivor’s jumpstart to their recovery. It is only an interim solution that requires a collaborative effort, including active engagement from survivors, local, state and federal partners.
Some Florida homes are still inaccessible due to hurricane-damaged roads, rising water, fallen trees and other storm-related issues - especially in and around Sanibel Island. If you cannot access your primary residence due to storm damage you may be eligible for FEMA rental assistance.
FEMA is processing applications and identifying eligible survivors for Direct Temporary Housing Assistance which can include a Transportable Temporary Housing Unit (TTHU) such as travel trailer (TT) or Manufactured Housing Unit (MHU).
More than $1.2 billion has gone to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policyholders to help their Hurricane Ian recovery, with over 46,000 policyholders having filed claims following the storm’s landfall.
