FEMA Offers Temporary Hotel Stays To Ike Evacuees

Some victims of Hurricane Ike can stay at hotels or motels for up to a month through a transitional sheltering program announced Tuesday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA has arranged for some hotel and motel chains to house evacuees. The agency is billed directly for the rooms, said Carlos J. Castillo, FEMA's assistant administrator for disaster assistance.

Hurricane Ike victims who qualify can stay at a participating hotel or motel until Oct. 14.

Evacuees should first register with FEMA to see if they can receive the temporary assistance.

To qualify, people must have a primary residence in a county included in the disaster declaration. Their home must be inaccessible or unlivable. The program is available to evacuees living in shelters, Castillo said.

When the program was announced, about 1,900 rooms were occupied by evacuees, FEMA officials said.

Hurricane Ike victims who find a room at a place not participating in the program should call FEMA to see if the hotel or motel will sign up. Other evacuees might be eligible to have lodging expenses reimbursed through FEMA's individuals and households program, Castillo said. 

The list below includes hotels, private campgrounds and RV resorts that  re offering discounted rates to Hurricane Ike evacuees.
