# Guidance and Webinar: Re-Housing Individuals Experiencing Homelessness From COVID-Specific Non-Congregate Shelter

September 27, 2021

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published [joint guidance](https://www.usich.gov/resources/uploads/asset_library/Model-Transitions-Document_FINAL.pdf) in September 2021 about strategies for transitioning people out of non-congregate shelter (NCS) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and into safe, stable permanent housing.

The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) hosted a webinar with HUD's Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS) and FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) Division to discuss the guidance.

Participants learned:

1. What COVID-specific NCS is and how to request FEMA reimbursement for NCS costs;
2. Why it is so important to have a strategy to re-house individuals and families experiencing homelessness sheltering in NCS in safe, stable permanent housing; and
3. Strategies and resources that can be used to re-house individuals sheltering in NCS, including financial and community partners to help implement these strategies.
