GOVERNOR'S OFFICE ' "" vz =- OF EMERGENCY SERVICES % s V DR-4407-CA California Elected Officials Advisory December 10, 2018 Transitional Sheltering Assistance Program Amid the significant challenges for disaster survivors in their recovery from the ongoing California wildfires, FEMA is funding the Transitional Sheltering Assistance(TSA) program. TSA eligibility is limited to eligible FEMA registrants who resided in Butte County before the fires. TSA is a short-term sheltering solution until other temporary or permanent housing solutions can be implemented. Under TSA, disaster survivors may be eligible to stay in an approved hotel or motel for a limited period, as a bridge to intermediate and longer-term temporary housing. FEMA directly pays the cost of the room and taxes to participating hotels and motels. TSA recipients are responsible for all other costs, including laundry, room service, parking, telephone, food, transportation or other services. Individuals and households in California may be eligible for TSA if: • They register with FEMA for assistance, online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by telephone at 800- 621-3362, TTY 800-462-7585. • They pass identity verification. • Their pre-disaster primary residence is in Butte County and occupancy is verified. • They are displaced from and unable to live in their pre-disaster residence. Disaster Legal Services FEMA, through an agreement with the Young Lawyers Division of the American Bar Association, provides limited free legal help for survivors. Disaster Legal Services provides assistance to low-income individuals who, prior to or because of the disaster, are unable to secure adequate legal services to meet their disaster-related needs. https://www.americanbar.orgLgroups/young lawyers/disaster legal services/ Disaster Unemployment Assistance Disaster Unemployment Assistance(DUA) provides temporary unemployment benefits to people whose jobs or work hour losses are a direct result of the disasters. Affected individuals are encouraged to apply for DUA through the California Employment Development Department, which will first check to see if applicants can qualify for regular state unemployment benefits.
