Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act

This bill makes it easier for people to get housing help from FEMA after major disasters. Currently, homes must be completely uninhabitable to qualify for assistance, but this bill would allow people to get help if their home is just damaged. The bill also lets FEMA build permanent housing when it would cost less than paying for temporary housing. Additionally, people who don't have official ownership papers for their home could still get help if they can show they likely own it through things like tax receipts or insurance documents, and FEMA would have to consider this evidence when deciding eligibility.
