FEMA Funds Relocation Of Displaced Residents

Release Date: August 27, 2007
Release Number: HQ-07-175

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced
today a reimbursement program that will provide relocation assistance to
disaster victims displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The damage and
destruction caused by the hurricanes resulted in temporary relocation of
many of Louisiana's residents to various locations within and outside the
state of Louisiana.

If returning to Louisiana, applicants must relocate to housing that is not
provided by FEMA and is not a hotel or motel. For those families that are
already living in Louisiana in FEMA travel trailers or mobile homes, FEMA
will pay moving expenses to a FEMA-funded rental resource anywhere in the
continental United States.

The program will reimburse eligible applicants for relocation expenses up to
$4,000 that were incurred between February 1, 2006 and February 29, 2008.
Funding for relocation expenses must be available within the FEMA
Individuals and Households Program cap and the applicant must not have
received funds from any other state, federal or voluntary agency subsidized
travel home program.

To be eligible for the program, the applicant must have been displaced from
their primary residence in a disaster-declared area as a result of
hurricanes Katrina and Rita and have incurred or will incur relocation
travel expenses within the defined period.

Relocation Assistance will be limited to travel costs including airfare,
train, bus and/or a rental vehicle. Furniture transportation expenses also
are eligible, including commercially rented equipment for hauling and
commercially purchased moving materials or moving services. Mileage, gas and
other travel-related expenses incurred while using a privately owned vehicle
are not eligible costs. Moving costs for recreational or large luxury items
such as boats or recreational vehicles are not eligible expenses under this
program either.

For more information on FEMA's Relocation Assistance program or to request
reimbursement of relocation expenses, call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) (TTY:
1-800-462-7585). To prevent duplication of benefits, an applicant is only
eligible to receive relocation assistance under either Hurricane Katrina
(DR-1603-LA) or Hurricane Rita (DR-1607-LA), not both.

FEMA coordinates the federal governments' role in preparing for, preventing,
mitigating the effects of, responding to and recovering from all domestic
disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.
