Descripción
This dataset was generated by FEMA's Individual Assistance (IA) reporting team to share data on FEMA's Housing Assistance program for house renters within the state, county, and zip code where the registration is valid for the declarations, starting with disaster declaration DR1439 (declared in 2002). It contains aggregated, non-PII data. Core data elements include number of applicants, county, zip code, inspections, severity of damage, and assistance provided.
Data is self-reported and subject to human error. For example, when an applicant registers online, they enter their street and city address. While the county is inferred by the system, it may be overridden by the applicant. Similarly, with a call center registration, the Human Services Specialist (HSS) representatives are instructed to ask in what county the applicant resides, but the applicant has the right to choose the county.

The financial information is derived from NEMIS and not FEMA's official financial systems. Due to differences in reporting periods, status of obligations and how business rules are applied, this financial information may differ slightly from official publication on public websites such as usaspending.gov; this dataset is not intended to be used for any official federal financial reporting.
