If You Cannot Live in Your Home After Hurricane Debby

FEMA Displacement Assistance may help homeowners and renters who can't return to their home because it was damaged by Hurricane Debby. After receiving Displacement Assistance, applicants may be eligible to receive Rental Assistance.

Displacement Assistance

Displacement Assistance is money to help with immediate housing needs if you cannot live in your home after the hurricane. This money can be used to stay in a hotel, with family and friends or for other options while you look for temporary housing.

Displacement Assistance is a one-time payment. If you have used your Displacement Assistance and you still have housing needs, you can ask for Rental Assistance from FEMA by calling FEMA at 800-621-3362 or visiting a Disaster Recovery Center

Rental Assistance

Rental Assistance can help owners and renters pay for somewhere to live while repairs are made or a permanent housing solution is identified.

The initial award for Rental Assistance may be up to two months. After the initial award, applicants can request Continued Rental Assistance.

How to Apply

Go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, use the FEMA App, visit a Disaster Recovery Center or call 800-621-3362 any day. Multilingual operators are available. If you use a relay service, captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.
