re: Has anyone here heard back from FEMA since registering?

FYI....

---

Beginning today, residents who are eligible for the Shelter at Home Program should register by phone or online: 1-800-927-0216 shelterathome.la.gov LINK

That's for up to $15,000 in work to make the home inhabitable, repair the a/c and heater, etc.

How Does It Work?
The program evaluates each applicant’s home and, if up to $15,000 of work in that home can create a safe, secure, habitable place for the family to live while they continue their permanent home rebuilding, then that applicant may be eligible for this program. 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 work will be provided at no out-of-pocket cost to the eligible homeowner. This assistance is independent of and will not affect determination of any Individual Assistance grant from FEMA. These essential emergency cleanup and minor repairs will help families get a jumpstart on their full recovery and live in at least a portion of their home, while they continue to finish the big task of making permanent repairs to their home.

What Kind of Property is Eligible?
Single-family owner-occupied properties are eligible if up to $15,000 in repairs provided by the Shelter at Home program will allow residents to quickly and safely shelter in their own home. Only properties that meet these criteria are eligible to participate in the program. Each individual property will be inspected on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the property is eligible for this program.

Who Should Apply for This Program?
Many families are desperately ready to get back into their homes, but their residences are not environmentally safe or habitable yet. If you want to get back to your home as quickly as possible and would rather stay there than a shelter, rental apartment or hotel room, this program may be for you.
