Bill overview
The Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act of 2026 aims to provide financial assistance to individuals and households affected by major disasters, particularly those who do not own their homes but have lived there for a significant period. The bill expands the definition of eligible individuals to include those experiencing homelessness and residing in various housing accommodations. It also introduces a streamlined process for applying for assistance through a self-certification form, and modifies existing FEMA guidelines to prioritize repairing damaged residences over declaring them uninhabitable, focusing on longer-term recovery solutions.
