when the permanent housing plan has not been fulfilled through no fault 

of the applicant.

    (b) Additional criteria for continued assistance. (1) All applicants 

requesting continued rent assistance must establish a realistic 

permanent housing plan no later than the first certification for 

continued assistance. Applicants will be required to provided 

documentation showing that they are making efforts to obtain permanent 

housing.

receipts to show that they have exhausted the FEMA rent funds, and 

provide documentation identifying the continuing need.

initial rental assistance to obtain permanent housing. However, we may 

certify them, during the period of assistance, for continued rent 

assistance when adequate, alternate housing is not available, or when 

they have not realized a permanent housing plan through no fault of 

their own.

    (4) FEMA may certify pre-disaster owners for continued rent 

assistance, during the period of assistance, when adequate, alternate 

housing is not available, or when they have not realized a permanent 

housing plan through no fault of their own.

    (5) Individuals or households requesting additional repair 

assistance will be required to submit information and/or documentation 

identifying the continuing need.

    (6) Individuals or households requesting additional assistance for 

personal property, transportation, medical, dental, funeral, moving and 

storage, or other necessary expenses and serious needs will be required 

to submit information and/or documentation identifying the continuing 

need.
