The deadline for renters and homeowners to register for help in parishes designated for FEMA assistance after Hurricane Delta is December 16.
FEMA says that Federal assistance includes help for temporary housing, rental assistance and repair or replacement of damaged property.
Grants may be available to help with other expenses such as medical and dental care, childcare, funeral and burial costs, replacing essential household items, moving and storage, vehicle repairs and cleanup.
