Rapid Repairs has now restored heat, power and hot water in almost 11,500 homes – over 4,000 homes in Brooklyn – and the program is 99% complete. Upon finishing eligible repairs, each home received an independent inspection to verify that the systems were working properly. While Rapid Repairs is committed to ensuring that the temporary repairs were constructed safely and professionally, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make permanent repairs and to properly maintain the electric, heat and hot water systems installed by Rapid Repairs.

All homeowners who participated in the Rapid Repairs program receive a letter (and email, when available) with the below phone number and email address where they can contact us with any questions regarding their repairs. Please find attached a flyer with this same Rapid Repairs Customer Service information that you are welcome to share with constituents.

Release date: February 21, 2013
Release Number: NR-176

NEW YORK – The Federal Emergency Management Agency, at the request of the State of New York, has approved a 14-day extension to the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program, which allows eligible survivors from Hurricane Sandy who cannot return to their homes to stay in participating hotels or motels.

The new checkout date for those in the TSA program is March 10, 2013. FEMA continues working with survivors in coordination with state, local and voluntary agency partners to assist applicants through outreach and comprehensive casework to identify and transition them to more suitable temporary or long-term housing. Applicants eligible for the extension are being notified of the new checkout date. 

The temporary Transitional Sheltering Assistance program allows eligible Hurricane Sandy survivors whose houses have been severely damaged or destroyed to stay in a hotel or motel for a limited time and have the cost of the room and taxes paid directly to the hotel by FEMA.
