FEMA asks public for housing assistance

The current FEMA news releases, along with several more disaster declarations, include an appeal to the public for housing assistance. It repeats what we heard from the National Multi Housing Council a few days ago: businesses that have large-scale resources to offer are to register them at www.SWERN.gov; business and individuals with housing rentals available are to register at www.DHRonline.org., which is the resource being provided through Hurricanehousing.net. Or that's what they appear to be saying: as of this writing the second link is misspelled in the FEMA announcement as "www.DHROonline.org."

[REMINDER: the IRS still has not changed the instructions in Notice 2005-69 for tax-credit landlords to register units at SWERN. Registering in both places may make the most sense.]

[UPDATE 9/22: The FEMA press release cited above has been corrected to give the proper link: www.DHRonline.org.]
