made to families whose homes are unlivable. Initial assistance may be
provided for up to three months for homeowners, and at least one month for
renters. Assistance may be extended if requested after the initial period
based on a review of individual applicant requirements.

improvements that make damaged dwellings safe, sanitary, and functional.
They also can be applied to help meet medical, dental, funeral, transportation
and other serious disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance or other
federal, state and charitable aid programs.
