              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
                                SECURITY
 
PART 206_FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR DISASTERS DECLARED ON OR AFTER 
 
       Subpart D_Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households
 
Sec.  206.114  Criteria for continued assistance.

    (a) FEMA expects all recipients of assistance under this subpart to 
obtain and occupy permanent housing at the earliest possible time. FEMA 
may provide continued housing assistance during the period of 
assistance, but not to exceed the maximum amount of assistance for the 
program, based on need, and generally only when adequate, alternate 
housing is not available or 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.
    (2) Applicants requesting continued rent assistance must submit rent 
receipts to show that they have exhausted the FEMA rent funds, and 
provide documentation identifying the continuing need.
    (3) FEMA generally expects that pre-disaster renters will use their 
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.
