What type of help is available for HUD-assisted renters?
If you received housing assistance from HUD and your home became unlivable because of the disaster, you may be eligible for FEMA temporary housing assistance if there is no available HUD housing after the disaster, and until:
- you relocate back to public housing;
- you relocate back to private housing that accepts HUD assistance; or
- you sign a lease with a private property owner using HUD assistance.
Additionally, financial assistance for pre-disaster, HUD-assisted renters may cover reimbursement for short-term lodging expenses, funds to replace or repair necessary personal property, a vehicle; uninsured funeral, medical, dental, childcare, moving and storage expenses. Uninsured medical and dental expenses may include lost or damaged medical equipment or disaster-caused injuries.
