I keep joking about how I'm going to put all sorts of new shite on my resume: carpenter, general contractor, etc.

They tried giving money directly to home owners after Katrina with the Road Home program. The result was home owners spending the money on anything but renovations (new cars, gambling, etc).
The contractors in the Shelter at Home program have been given strict instructions on the type of work they can do by FEMA. They can't do a full restoration even if it's within the $15,000 cap. Once the FEMA inspector says the home is habitable by very basic standards, then no more work will be done.
From the Shelter at Home website: "Very basic initial work will include items such as mucking out the house, basic electrical restoration, installing a basic water heater, removing wet wall insulation, and providing up to $500 in basic cooking or refrigerating appliances."

This program will not renovate your home. It will only make it habitable.
