Who qualifies for assistance with hotel rooms?
If your house or apartment is uninhabitable due to structural damage or utility outages, FEMA will help pay for a hotel room unless your insurance covers alternative living expenses. If you can find a room at a hotel that is participating in FEMA’s transitional housing program, the charges should be billed directly to the federal government. All you have to do is give the front desk your FEMA registration number. A list of participating hotels is available at http://www.femaevachotels.com.
