Emergency Lodging Assistance (ELA) Program is Available

ACCOMMODATIONS PARTNERS: If you have not already done so, register now with FEMA to assist residents impacted by Hurricane Milton.

FEMA has activated lodging assistance for our area and only hotels that are registered may participate. Pinellas County is asking hotels to register to participate in the Emergency Lodging Assistance Program. This program is administered by CLC Lodging on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA will provide direct payment to hotels who house pre-qualified individuals from disaster areas.
