Hotel Program For Irma Survivors Ending

FEMA says the short-term emergency sheltering program that has paid for hotel rooms for Florida's Hurricane Irma survivors will end this Saturday, March 10th.  

That's six months after the major disaster declaration on September 10th.  

At the request of the state, FEMA extended the temporary hotel program five times over the last six months to provide emergency housing for Irma survivors.  

The agency says more than 27-thousand Florida households have participated in the program and more than 26-thousand have already moved out after making home repairs or finding suitable longer-term housing.
