Disaster Housing Extended
WEST VIRGINIA...
Families in Mingo and Wyoming counties affected by storms in 2009 can stay in temporary disaster housing for another three months. The housing program was scheduled to end Nov. 15. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday it approved the state's request to extend the program to Feb. 15, 2011.
The program allows disaster victims to live rent-free in housing provided by FEMA while they work to obtain permanent housing.
As of Wednesday, 46 families were living in temporary disaster housing.
President Barack Obama issued a disaster declaration following severe storms on May 3, 2009, that struck Mingo, Wyoming and several other counties.
