The transitional housing program for North Carolina residents affected by Hurricane Helene has been extended by FEMA.
The Transitional Sheltering Assistance Program of FEMA was due to end on Tuesday.
The TSA Program for North Carolina residents has been extended to Jan. 25 by FEMA, as announced on Monday.
Thousands of people displaced from their homes by Hurricane Helene were provided with temporary housing, like hotel or motel rooms, by a program that was set to expire on Tuesday.
Households can utilize federal assistance to delay their housing decisions, whether it's finding new accommodations or repairing their current homes.
According to FEMA, over 3,000 families are eligible for the program's extension.
On Tuesday, individuals leaving temporary housing will either be returning to livable homes or discontinuing their assistance from FEMA.
Last month, FEMA reported that over 10,000 households took temporary shelter in hotels participating in the TSA program after the hurricane. However, most of them have since relocated to permanent housing.
Additionally, each county has its own shelters and nonprofits to aid individuals who do not qualify for FEMA's program.
