Refreshed information includes FEMA benefits for immigrants

Kate Woomer-Deters of the NC Justice Center has updated the information on Tenants Rights and it includes FEMA Benefits for Immigrants and Tenants in English and Spanish at this website: https://www.ncjustice.org/publications/resources-for-natural-disasters/

These materials answer such questions as:

• Can I cancel my lease or stop paying rent if I am a tenant and my home is damaged by a natural disaster?
• Is my landlord responsible for reimbursing me for personal property damaged in a disaster?
• If I am an immigrant or members of my family are immigrants, can we qualify for monetary assistance from FEMA?
• Is it safe to share my personal information with FEMA if I am an immigrant?
• What sort of benefits does FEMA provide to tenants, homeowners and those in “rent to own” contracts?
