Disaster Relief: Federal Debris Removal Aid for Condos and Shared Housing Communities.
This law expands federal disaster debris removal assistance to include residential common interest communities, condominiums, housing cooperatives, and manufactured home parks. This means residents in these shared housing structures can expect faster, government-funded cleanup if local authorities determine the wreckage poses a threat to health or safety. The change aims to reduce the financial burden on unit owners following a major disaster.
Key points
Federal disaster debris removal assistance will now cover common areas in condominiums, housing cooperatives, and manufactured home parks.
Assistance is triggered when state or local governments determine the debris poses a threat to life, public health, or economic recovery.
This change speeds up the recovery process and reduces direct costs for residents of shared communities after a disaster.
