This FEMA video explains the shelter at home program and how it was implemented in Louisiana after the catastrophic August 2016 floods left thousands of residents with severely damaged homes.

The shelter at home program is funded through FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) program and in no way detracts from a homeowner’s eligibility to receive Individual Assistance (IA) from FEMA. The program makes homes safe and habitable so that homeowners can shelter in their homes while making repairs, instead of seeking refuge at a public shelter or hotel.
