Abstract: This collection is used to collect information from survivors in shelters regarding the pre-disaster housing situation and post disaster housing plans. The information will be used by FEMA to understand the scope of the FEMA requirement to provide housing and rental assistance to those displaced by natural and manmade disaster. This will ensure that FEMA delivers housing and rental services without duplicating the benefits other Agencies are responsible for providing based on survivor’s pre-disaster housing situation. Aggregated reports will be used by staff in the Joint Field Office to plan and execute shelter depopulation strategies. Individual survivor information collected with this assessment will be used solely for the planning and delivery of FEMA services.

Emergency Justfication: FEMA is implementing an alternate method to support immediate needs for Survivor Sheltering Assessment in Support of FEMA Public Assistance Non-Congregate Sheltering Data Sharing during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (Interim) FP 104-009-18 to include an alternate process to be utilized by State, Tribal or Territorial (STT) governments to collect information from the Shelter Resident and provide that data to FEMA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
