Description
FEMA is seeking multi-family rental properties (two or more units) in the counties of Fayette, Franklin, Henry, Wayne, or multi-family rental properties that were impacted by DR-4933-IN located in counties within thirty (30) to up to sixty (60) minutes commuting distance of the affected areas in the State of Indiana. FEMA is seeking owners of rental properties (apartment complexes primarily) that could be potentially repaired to local, state, and federal codes/standards and offered as temporary housing for FEMA applicants in a timely manner for up to 18 months from the date of declaration, unless extended. The properties should be complexes that are able to accommodate a considerable number of people in a single location. Each property must have been previously used as a multi-family housing complex and contain three or more rental units. The site must be repairable within a four-month period and cannot be located in a flood zone. Within this program, there is no rental cost for the eligible applicant. The repair costs are funded by the State/FEMA and the value of these repairs are deducted from the value of the lease agreement between the State/FEMA and the property owner.
