When disaster strikes, safety and shelter are a top priority. Whether it’s a natural disaster or another emergency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers resources to help individuals and families find temporary lodging. One of the most valuable resources available during such times is the FEMA Hotel Voucher Program.
What is the FEMA Hotel Voucher Program?
The FEMA Hotel Voucher Program provides short-term hotel accommodations to people displaced by emergencies or disasters. These vouchers cover the cost of staying in approved hotels, giving individuals and families a safe place to rest as they recover from the disruption caused by the disaster.
If your home is unsafe due to a recent event, and you have nowhere else to turn, this program may provide the relief you need.
