Disaster aid extended to condominiums, housing cooperatives, and common interest communities.

This Act expands federal disaster assistance to include residential common interest communities, condominiums, and housing cooperatives, which previously faced difficulties in securing such support. This means homeowners in these types of properties will be eligible for financial aid to repair essential common elements, such as roofs or utilities, following a major disaster declaration. The changes aim to ensure fairer access to disaster relief funds for millions of Americans residing in these communities.
