AUSTIN, TEXAS – Eligible Hurricane Harvey survivors receiving
Transitional Shelter Assistance (TSA) may receive an extension to stay
in hotels beyond March 12 as they continue working toward a permanent
housing solution before the temporary program ends. 

Key dates:

	* March 12 – Last day of eligibility under current extension period
	* April 2 – Eligibility review of all survivors remaining in TSA
	* April 23 – End of approved extension period for those approved
beyond April 2

Disaster survivors participating in TSA will receive a phone call,
email and/or text message advising them if they have continued
eligibility for assistance through a participating hotel.

Survivors in hotels who are unsure of their continued TSA eligibility
can:

	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (voice, 711 or VRS) or
800-462-7585 (TTY).
	* Log into their account on disasterassistance.gov/
[https://www.disasterassistance.gov/].
	* Visit a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC); for DRC locations and hours
go to fema.gov/DRC
[https://www.fema.gov///C:/Users/cmcderm3/Desktop/www.fema.gov/DRC].
	* Ask the hotel to look in the lodging web portal to see whether they
have eligibility beyond the current checkout date of March 13.

Recovery partners at all levels are working together to ensure
remaining hotel participants are getting the support they need, in the
form of information, available financial resources and guidance as
they transition out of the temporary program.
