Redesignates existing subsections (d) and (e) as (e) and (f), and inserts a new subsection (d) after subsection (c) requiring the President to issue rules that treat removal of debris or wreckage from real estate owned by residential common interest communities, condominium entities, manufactured housing communities, or housing cooperatives as in the public interest when a State or local government determines in writing that such debris or wreckage constitutes a threat to life, public health or safety, or the economic recovery of the community.
Amends section 102 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122) by adding four new definitions at the end as paragraphs (13)–(16): 'residential common interest community', 'condominium', 'housing cooperative', and 'manufactured housing community' (the latter referencing 24 C.F.R. 3280.02).
Amends section 408(c)(2)(A) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by (1) striking the terminal "and" at the end of clause (i), (2) redesignating the existing clause (ii) as clause (iii), and (3) inserting a new clause (ii) authorizing repair of essential common elements of condominiums, manufactured housing communities, or housing cooperatives when an individual’s or household’s pro rata share of such repair costs is satisfactorily documented.
This bill makes it easier for people who live in condos, co‑ops, manufactured home communities, and other shared‑ownership neighborhoods to get federal disaster help after a major storm, fire, or flood. It also clearly defines what these types of communities are, so they are not left out when aid is given.
