About this archived opportunity
Assistance for Housing and Other Needs FEMA may provide money and other services to help you recover from uninsured losses caused by a presidentially declared disaster, such as damage to your home, car, and other personal items. Note: FEMA does not provide assistance for small businesses affected by a disaster. Our partner, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), offers low interest loans for business damage. Also, we do not offer housing assistance for secondary or vacation homes, only for your primary residence. When you’re ready, apply for disaster assistance online, by phone at 1-800-621-3362 or in person at a Disaster Recovery Center. You may qualify for FEMA disaster assistance even if you have insurance. You must file a claim with your insurance provider and submit the insurance settlement or denial letter to FEMA to determine your eligibility for some forms of assistance. For additional information about Housing Assistance, please visit Chapter 3, Section IV in the Individual Assistance Program and Policy Guide (IAPPG). Money is provided as an upfront, flexible payment per household for essential items like food, water, baby formula, breast feeding supplies, medication and other serious disaster-related needs. NOTE: This is not a form of reimbursement for loss of power or replacing food. It is intended for emergency needs only. For additional information about Other Needs Assistance, including Serious Needs Assistance, please visit Chapter 3, Section VI in the Individual Assistance Program and Policy Guide (IAPPG). Learn about several other programs designed to support disaster survivors offered by FEMA including mass care, crisis counseling, case management, legal services, and unemployment assistance. To receive assistance from FEMA, you must meet the following general conditions of eligibility.
