Contact FEMA for continued temporary housing assistance

GUAM—For those Typhoon Mawar survivors who received initial rental assistance, it’s important to stay in touch with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as you may be eligible for continued rental assistance. The initial grant is for the first two months. If you have exhausted the initial amount and need more, you may apply for continued assistance in three-month periods— up to 18 months from the President’s major disaster declaration, or Nov. 28, 2024.

There are a few simple steps to apply for Continued Temporary Housing Assistance:

Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 and ask for an Application for Continued Temporary Housing

Assistance. Helpline operators can arrange interpretation in many languages if requested.

800-827-8112, or mail it to FEMA, P.O. Box 10055, Hyattsville MD 20782-8055.

You will need to submit the following documents with the completed application:
