The Temporary Housing Unit
The mission of the Individual Assistance (IA) Branch of the Operations Section includes assisting disaster survivors with locating temporary housing after their homes have been damaged by the disaster. These temporary housing solutions may include the use of travel trailers or mobile homes by the survivors. In such instances, The External Support Branch activates the Temporary Housing Unit to provide temporary housing for disaster survivors through the Individual Assistance (IA) program.
