Eviction and foreclosure moratoriums or safe communal housing options can provide temporary stability for disaster survivors and may allow survivors to resume job responsibilities sooner.
| Agency & Program Name | Type of Program & Funding Source | Phase Available | Critical Program Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| FEMA: Disaster Case Management | Federal Award Annual | Short-Term | Disaster Case Management (DCM) is a time-limited collaboration between a trained case manager and a disaster survivor involving the development of a disaster recovery plan and a mutual effort to meet those disaster-caused unmet needs described in the plan. Disaster Case Management is most often funded by FEMA as a federal award or cooperative agreement to the SLTT. |
| USDA / RD: Farm Labor Housing Direct Loans & Grants | Grant Loan Annual | Long-Term | Provides affordable financing to develop housing for year-round and migrant or seasonal domestic farm laborers. This program assists qualified applicants who cannot obtain commercial credit on terms that will allow them to charge rents that are affordable to low-income tenants. Borrowers must have sufficient qualifications and experience to develop and operate the project. |
| HUD: Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery | Grant Supplemental | Long-Term | HUD provides flexible grants to help local governments, states and tribes to recover from Presidentially declared disasters, especially in low- and moderate-income areas, subject to the availability of supplemental appropriations. Eligible activities may include acquisition, financing, rehabilitation, reconstruction, or construction of housing, as well as housing counselling and other activities. This particular activity may be eligible as part of an eligible rehabilitation activity (repairs alone are generally not eligible). This funding can be used as cost share for other federal programs, including FEMA programs. |
