SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) - FEMA has announced that it will be holding a housing resource to help further assist those impacted by the severe storms in 2024.
The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Carver Village Community Center located at 905 Collat Ave, Savannah, GA 31415.
Survivors will meet with local housing organizations, property owners and landlords, as well as gain information on the HEARTS Georgia Sheltering Program, and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
The Housing Resource Fair is an opportunity for survivors to:
▪ Explore affordable housing options and rental assistance programs.
▪ Meet with representatives from local housing organizations, landlords and property managers.
▪ Gain access to resources for displaced individuals and families.
▪ Learn about community partners that will provide educational funding resources to attendees.
“We want survivors to know we are here for them and want to see the best outcome, which is
moving into safe, sanitary and functioning housing,” he said. “We will walk them through their options to ensure they are aware of the resources that are available to fit their need,” says FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Kevin Wallace.
Anyone who was affected by Tropical Storm Debby or Hurricane Helene, whether they have applied for FEMA assistance or not, is welcome to attend.
