FEMA is extending its Temporary Shelter Assistance (TSA) program through January 25 for residents of North Carolina, according to Monday’s announcement.
The program, which was set to expire Tuesday, provides funding for temporary housing, such as hotel or motel rooms, for thousands of people displaced by Hurricane Helen.
Federal assistance gives households additional time to find alternative housing solutions or repair their homes.

According to FEMA, more than 3,000 families are eligible for the program extension.
The agency said people being discharged from their temporary housing on Tuesday are returning to habitable homes or have moved out of FEMA assistance.
