WASHINGTON — The Federal Emergency Management Agency has revised
its policies to allow houses of worship to apply for some
federal aid to help deal with damage from Hurricanes Harvey and
Irma.
FEMA announced Tuesday houses of worship no longer would be
excluded from eligibility for FEMA aid.
The agency says the changes affect private non-profit
organizations that sustained damage from a major disaster on or
after Aug. 23 or that had unresolved applications pending before
the agency as of that date. The assistance is limited to costs
not covered by a U.S. Small Business Administration loan.
Three Texas churches severely damaged by Hurricane Harvey last
year sued FEMA over the policy, accusing the agency of religious
discrimination.
