    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the Multifamily Lease and Repair (MLR) program in response to Tropical Storm Helene (DR-4832-TN). This RFI seeks interest from property owners of multi-family housing units located in designated affected counties or those within a reasonable commuting distance. The MLR program aims to provide temporary housing for individuals displaced by the disaster by repairing existing rental properties rather than assisting current tenants. Eligible properties must contain three or more independent living units, require repairs to meet safety standards, and offer exclusive occupancy to FEMA for at least 18 months. Property owners must maintain mortgage payments and ensure compliance with federal requirements. FEMA encourages interested parties to submit details about their properties, including vacant units, compliance with accessibility standards, condition of repairs, and other specific features. The RFI aims to gather market insights and enhance the response capabilities for disaster-related housing needs while emphasizing that this request does not obligate FEMA to enter contracts or agreements. Responses are expected by November 15, 2024, to aid in potential future solicitations for temporary housing assistance aligned with federal disaster recovery efforts.
