Relocation Assistance for Katrina and Rita Victims
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced August 27 that a reimbursement program would provide relocation
assistance to disaster victims displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The program will reimburse eligible applicants for
relocation expenses up to $4,000 that were incurred between February 1, 2006 and February 29, 2008. Relocation expenses may not
exceed the FEMA Individuals and Households Program (IHP) 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.
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. |
