FEMA extends transitional housing program for North Carolina residents displaced by Hurricane Helene

The Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) Program by FEMA has been extended until Jan. 25 for North Carolina residents, as announced on Monday.

Originally scheduled to end on Tuesday, the program provides funding for temporary housing, such as hotel or motel accommodations, for individuals displaced by Hurricane Helene.

The federal assistance gives households extra time to find alternative housing solutions or to make repairs to their homes.

After Hurricane Helene, over 10,000 households opted for temporary shelter in hotels participating in the TSA program. FEMA reported last month that many of these households have now transitioned to more permanent housing.

Each county also has its own shelters and nonprofits to assist people who are not eligible for FEMA’s program.
