FEMA requires the ability to collect information regarding the housing needs of shelter residents to provide services and assistance to transition them out of shelters and into temporary or permanent housing solutions expeditiously. FEMA may provide Public Assistance funding to State, Tribal, and Territorial governments for costs related to emergency shelter under section 403 of the Stafford Act, as codified at 42 U.S.C. § 5170b. Aggregated reports resulting from the individualized data collection will support state, Non-Governmental Organizations and FEMA planning activities to transition the shelter population.
