Haywood County -- January 21, 2025: Haywood County Government: FEMA Update for Survivors of Helene: FEMA is continuing to assist

Western North Carolina residents displaced by

Helene through the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program, which provides temporary hotel stays while survivors work toward permanent housing solutions.


Key Updates:

-Eligibility Reviews: Conducted every two weeks to ensure ongoing need.
-Extended Notice: Ineligible survivors will now receive 21 days' notice from FEMA (instead of 7) before needing to vacate.
-Program Continuation: TSA will remain available as long as needed for eligible survivors.

Stay in Touch: Survivors must update FEMA with their current housing and contact details to avoid delays in assistance.

FEMA has already provided over $316 million in grants and $213 million in SBA loans to support recovery efforts in North Carolina. Together, we’ll rebuild stronger.
