Bill 118 s 5515, also known as the Temporary Disaster Assistance Housing Pilot Program Act, aims to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The main goal of this bill is to establish a pilot program for the construction of temporary disaster assistance housing. This program would provide temporary housing for individuals and families who have been displaced by natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods.
The bill outlines the requirements and guidelines for the construction of these temporary housing units, including the use of durable and sustainable materials, compliance with local building codes, and accessibility for individuals with disabilities. The program would be implemented in collaboration with state and local governments, as well as non-profit organizations and private sector partners.
In addition to the construction of temporary housing units, the bill also includes provisions for the maintenance and management of these units, as well as funding for ongoing support services for individuals and families living in temporary housing. The goal of the program is to provide safe and secure housing for disaster survivors while they work to rebuild their lives and communities.
Overall, the Temporary Disaster Assistance Housing Pilot Program Act seeks to improve the response and recovery efforts following natural disasters by providing much-needed housing assistance to those in need.
