FEMA - TRANSITIONAL SHELTER ASSISTANCE

Description:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency 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 congregate shelters by transitioning survivors into short-term accommodations through direct payments to lodging providers.

The initial period of assistance will be 5-14 days from date of TSA implementation.
