Multi-Family Lease and Repair (MLR) is a form of Direct Temporary Housing Assistance that allows The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to repair or make improvements to existing multi-family rental property for the purpose of providing temporary housing to eligible applicants who are displaced due to Hurricane Ida under [DR-4611-LA]. FEMA may utilize this form of temporary housing assistance for eligible applicants who are unable to use rental assistance due to lack of available resources. MLR is not intended to repair or improve individual rental properties to re-house existing tenants.
FEMA is seeking multi-family rental properties or multi-family rental properties that were impacted by Hurricane Ida located in parishes within reasonable commuting distance to the below parishes in Louisiana. FEMA is seeking owners of rental properties (apartment complexes primarily) that could be potentially repaired to local, state and federal codes/standards and offered as temporary housing for FEMA applicants in a timely manner for up to 18-months from the date of declaration, unless extended.

I made a clam and I was straight up about my case. I told the I am the only child living all my sisters and my brother, father and mother or all deceased. And I have a living will that states my sister Myra my brother Leroy Jr. and me Helen be split 3 ways so they all left me. I was there I am back and forth. All the bills or in Helen Nickens me in my name. After I helped my nefew out when he was in jail I told him he could stay there and give me some rent money well he never gave me a penny. He made a clam with fema before I could. Know that house is not his it’s mine. I think y’all gave him money and told me that I could not provide I lived there. I am so upset so y’all don’t even give me a penny and know I can’t even fix my house so I can have a place to live. But my nefew is still living There. So I am a little worried about this. Just hope he didn’t make a clam on the house or as a renter cause he just neaver left. I hope he doesn’t mess me up. But that is not right he doesn’t pay rent and it’s my family house and he would get more then me cause I got nothing please help me fix this. Thanks Helen Nickens 9854135546
