I’ve heard from some of you that your hotel is not aware that FEMA extended TSA thru July 5th for Puerto Rican’s displaced by Hurricane Maria... If that’s the case where you are - here is what you need to know:

@DavidBegnaud So proud of Natasha and her team at @latinojustice

For Puerto Rican hurricane survivors about to be ousted from hotel rooms FEMA is paying for, @SenBillNelson asked that the Disaster Housing Assistance Program be activated, as it was after hurricane Katrina, according to Nelson.
FEMA: “there is no need...”

@MMViverito @BxCoSHME @TishJames Thank you @MMViverito! It’s been a struggle to help those we could. But we can and we must! Until every Puerto Rican evacuee family in NYC has a job and a home.There is so much more to do. Grateful for your leadership, since day one.

“I can’t be on the street with a 4-year-old.” - FEMA's transitional housing program is set to end on June 30, but evacuees from Puerto Rico, like Andrea Tejeda, and her young daughter don't know that they'll do.

FEMA Has Rejected 60 Percent of Assistance Requests in Puerto Rico. Why? Crying Dam Shame @DavidBegnaud @MSNBC @CNN https://t.co/cXBmVZZrk6

[Feet in 2 Worlds @Fi2W]

As June 30 approches when FEMA will stop providing temporary accommodation, Andrea Tejeda, 26, doesn't know what she'll do, "I don’t know what’s going to happen...I can’t be on the street with a 4-year-old.” https://t.co/LaUOJcZtcX #HousingNYC #HurricaneMaria #PuertoRico #Boricua
