ELIGIBILITY
[https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/laura-survivors-must-register-fema-just-once-housing-eligibility]


Release Date: 
Oct 1, 2020 

Hurricane Laura survivors, registered with FEMA, in Allen, Beauregard,
Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis and Vernon parishes may be
considered for direct temporary housing.

 

There is no need to register more than once, and no additional
application is required to be considered for housing. Once a survivor
is registered, FEMA will call applicants whose homes were destroyed or
are uninhabitable to discuss housing needs and to determine the next
steps.

 

Survivors who have not registered previously can register by phone,
online or through their smartphone:

 	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585)
 	* Visit DisasterAssistance.gov [https://www.disasterassistance.gov/]
 	* Download the FEMA Mobile App at fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/app
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/app] or get a link to
download it via text messaging on an Android device (text ANDROID to
43362) or Apple device (text APPLE to 43362)

 

Those who use a relay service such as a videophone, InnoCaption or
CapTel should update FEMA with their specific number assigned to that
service.
