TRANSITIONAL SHELTERING ASSISTANCE (TSA)

Release Date:

FEMA may provide Transitional Shelter Assistance (TSA) to applicants
who are unable to return to their pre-disaster, primary residence
because their home is either uninhabitable or inaccessible due to a
Presidentially-declared disaster. TSA is intended to reduce the number
of disaster survivors in shelters by transitioning survivors into
short-term accommodations. TSA does not count toward an applicant’s
maximum amount of assistance available under the Individuals and
Households Program (IHP).

TSA may be considered when the scale and projected duration of a
declared incident results in an extended displacement of disaster
survivors. The state and FEMA identify areas that are inaccessible or
that incurred damages that prevent disaster survivors from returning
to their pre-disaster primary residence for an extended period of
time.

Under TSA, disaster survivors may be eligible to stay in an approved
hotel or motel for a limited period of time. FEMA directly pays the
cost of the room and taxes to participating hotels and motels. The
applicant is responsible for all other costs, including laundry, room
service, parking, telephone, food, transportation or other services.

Individuals and households may be eligible for TSA if:

	* They register with FEMA for assistance, online at
www.disasterassistance.gov [http://www.disasterassistance.gov/] or by
telephone at 1-800-621-3362, TTY 1-800-462-7585.
	* They pass identity verification.
	* Their pre-disaster primary residence is located in a geographic
area that is designated for TSA and occupancy is verified.
	* They are displaced from and unable to live in their pre-disaster
residence.

Due to high usage of hotels/motels in the affected area, it may be
difficult to locate an available participating hotel/motel. A survivor
may have to travel a significant distance to locate an available room
which may include searching out of state.

Individuals can search for an eligible hotel at www.femaevachotels.com

Sheltering Assistance Hotel Locator.”
