Volusia County Approved for FEMA Transitional Shelter Assistance
Posted On: October 17, 2024
Volusia County has been approved for FEMA Transitional Shelter Assistance (TSA) in response to Hurricane Milton. This initiative offers short-term, non-congregate sheltering options for displaced survivors. The TSA program provides temporary accommodations, such as hotels and motels in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, to help survivors transition to more permanent housing solutions.
How to register for TSA
- Register for FEMA by calling 800-621-3362 or visiting www.disasterassistance.gov.
- Eligible individuals will be informed about TSA eligibility and provided instructions for finding participating hotels.
- Find accommodations by visiting www.femaemergencyhotels.com or call the TSA Support Group at 866-863-8673.
Those who applied previously and did not indicate in their initial application that they needed shelter assistance must log back in to their account and update their profile to indicate shelter assistance is now required. Applicants will receive a notification seven days before the end of their TSA eligibility. This notice will be communicated via phone call, email, and/or text message, based on their selected method of communication during the disaster assistance application process.
If you do not have access to a computer or mobile device, please contact the Volusia County TSA Support Group by calling 866-863-8673 or email support@volusiacounty.gov.
