Tennessee Disaster Survivors Finding Housing, Task Force Study Shows

FEMA Release Number: 1979-041

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (MMD Newswire) June 17, 2011 -- The vast majority of Tennesseans displaced from their homes by recent disasters have found places to live as they recover. This means there is no need to provide manufactured homes as temporary living space, according to two studies by a joint federal-state disaster housing task force.

"Sufficient rental properties are available to meet applicant needs in the counties designated for federal disaster assistance. All registered and eligible applicants are receiving rental assistance checks and rental resource information," said Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Bassham.

The task force included representatives of TEMA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA sent housing experts from its regional office in Atlanta, Ga., to assist the task force in its investigation.

The task force studied the housing needs of survivors displaced by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and associated flooding April 25 - 28. Included in this federal disaster declaration (DR-1974), are Bledsoe, Bradley, Carroll, Cocke, Crockett, Greene, Hamilton, Hardin, Henry, Johnson, Knox, Madison, McMinn, Monroe, Montgomery, Rhea and Washington counties.

For this disaster, the task force focused on the hardest-hit counties, Greene, Bradley and Washington. Task force representatives talked one-to-one with hundreds of disaster survivors who had asked FEMA for housing assistance grants. Fewer than 1 percent still needed help to find housing. The others met their housing needs by staying in their damaged dwellings while repairs were made; finding their own rentals or being referred to available rental properties. All of those contacted were receiving FEMA housing assistance grants.

The task force also studied the housing needs of Tennesseans displaced by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and associated flooding from April 19 - June 9. The counties included in this federal disaster declaration (DR-1979), are Dyer, Gibson, Lake, Lauderdale, Lincoln, Obion, Shelby, Stewart and Tipton.

For this disaster, the task force conducted a similar survey, contacting almost 500 applicants. The results were also similar. Fewer than 1 percent still needed assistance finding housing. All have received FEMA housing assistance grants.

"It is important to note that these task force surveys represent a snapshot in time," said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer W. Montague Winfield. "We will continue to monitor the ongoing recovery and provide technical assistance to the state as needed.
