“Homeowners looking to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance to rebuild their homes are learning they won’t get the immediate aid they expected. And maybe no aid at all. While the federal agency has approved $210 million in financial assistance — mostly in vouchers for hotel rooms — aid for rebuilding homes damaged or destroyed last week isn’t flowing as smoothly. FEMA won’t award grants for damage to second homes. It won’t duplicate benefits paid by private insurance. And most of its recovery aid comes in the form of low-interest disaster loans.”
