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.
