Abstract

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to amend its Individual Assistance (IA) regulations to increase equity and ease of entry to the IA Program.  To provide a full opportunity for underserved communities to participate in the program, FEMA proposes to amend application of ‘safe, sanitary, and functional’ for the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) Home Repair assistance; amend the requirement to apply for a Small Business Administration loan prior to receipt of certain types of Other Needs Assistance (ONA); add eligibility criteria for its Serious Needs & Displacement Assistance; amend its requirements for Continued Temporary Housing Assistance; amend its approach to insurance proceeds; amend Personal Property Assistance; and amend its appeals process.  FEMA also proposes revisions to reflect changes to statutory authority that have not yet been implemented in regulation, to include provisions for utility and security deposit payments, lease and repair of multifamily rental housing, child care assistance, maximum assistance limits, and waiver authority.  Finally, FEMA proposes allowing self-employed individuals to receive assistance for essential tools under ONA, allowing certain home repair accessibility-related items, and allowing the reopening of the registration period when the President adds new counties to the major disaster declaration.
