Time is running out for residential property owners to respond to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s call to make rental housing available for Hurricane Helene survivors through the agency’s Direct Lease program.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved close to $600 million to aid Tropical Storm Helene recovery in North Carolina, the agency said.

Jan. 10, around 3,500 households in North Carolina are set to lose their Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) from FEMA.

FEMA has granted North Carolina local governments and certain nonprofits an extension to apply for public assistance to help with Helene recovery. The extension is now until February 6, 2025, and comes at Governor Roy Cooper’s request.

FEMA confirms continued eligibility on an individual basis. When eligibility ends, FEMA notifies survivors approximately seven days prior to their checkout date. It’s important for survivors to keep in touch with FEMA, provide regular updates on housing status and update contact information so their recovery process is not delayed.

Jan. 8, people gathered at Pack Square in downtown Asheville to demand Federal Emergency Management Agency to extend temporary housing assistance for victims of Helene.
