State officials say Oregon took a significant step forward in wildfire recovery efforts this week.
A release from the Oregon Office of Emergency Management said a State-requested housing mission to provide temporary housing for hundreds of Oregonians displaced by wildfire, was granted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday.
The release said the state and FEMA are finalizing the implementation plan for this mission, under which residents of Jackson, Linn and Marion counties who lost their homes in the September wildfires may be eligible. Considerations for prioritization of those three counties included factors such as immediate need and lack of available rental resources. Jackson County alone accounts for more than half of the homes lost in the state.
Housing solutions in this mission are tailored to individual needs and situations of survivors based on how quickly their homes can be repaired to a safe, sanitary and secure condition, and the availability of housing options in their communities.
The release said direct housing assistance was requested for Douglas, Lane and Lincoln counties as well. FEMA continues to evaluate the need for temporary housing assistance in the additional affected counties. The state continues to work directly with the Red Cross and other public and private partners to ensure that every impacted Oregonian has a safe place to stay.
To be eligible for direct housing assistance, wildfire survivors must register with FEMA and reside in Jackson, Linn or Marion counties. Damage must be the primary residence and must be a result of the wildfires.
Direct Housing Assistance is a program available through FEMA’s Individual and Household Program. it provides housing for up to 18 months after a disaster declaration. The release said normally FEMA’s disaster housing programs pay for rental of apartments and homes and for immediate home repairs.
