FEMA said it would notify families approximately seven days before checkout dates. The 3,500 families who have to leave Saturday were told starting on Jan. 3 that they are no longer eligible for the program for at least one of the following reasons:
An inspection at the applicant’s home that has ruled it now “habitable.”
The applicant declined an inspection at their home.
After multiple attempts, FEMA was unable to contact the applicant about their housing needs.
Other critical requirements for applicants include:
Up-to-date contact information in the FEMA portal.
The applicant did not withdraw their FEMA application.
The applicant continued to comply with the program’s terms and conditions.
