How many people stayed in FEMA-paid hotels and motels following the disaster?
FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program provided safe and secure lodging in hotels or motels throughout the disaster area for more than 30,000 households for up to six months following the disaster. In a positive sign of progress in the recovery effort, all applicants formerly in hotels or motels have been transitioned to long-term housing.
