Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA)

At the request of the state of Colorado, FEMA activated its Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program, which allows eligible evacuees whose homes are inaccessible or unlivable to stay in a hotel or motel for a limited time and have the cost of the room paid directly to the hotel by FEMA. We want to make sure evacuees have safe, sanitary and secure locations until long-term housing needs can be met.

• FEMA representatives began notifying eligible FEMA applicants Sept. 22.
• The initial period of assistance runs from Sept. 22 to Oct. 5, with checkout on Oct. 6.
• TSA covers room taxes, but does not cover meals or incidentals.
• The program does not cover previously incurred hotel expenses.
• Nearly 4,600 FEMA applicants in Colorado are currently eligible for TSA.

Free Disaster Legal Assistance

Flood survivors can receive counseling on insurance claims, landlord-tenant issues, home-repair contracts, consumer-protection matters and the replacement of legal documents destroyed in the storms. The hotline number is 855-424-5347 or visit colofloodlegalrelief.org.

Applicant Briefings

Applicant Briefings are run by the State to explain the Public Assistance program for eligible organizations.  State officials will explain the FEMA Public Assistance program for debris removal, emergency protective measures and the repair, restoration or replacement of public facilities or infrastructure that were damaged.  Three briefings have been scheduled:

• Boulder County on Friday, September 27
• Town of Estes Park on Monday, September 30
• Larimer County on Tuesday, October 1
