Disaster Assistance Fairness Act
This bill amends the Stafford Act to clarify disaster assistance for specific housing types. It defines "residential common interest communities" (including condos and housing co-ops) and adds rules requiring the President to authorize debris removal in these communities when a state determines it threatens safety or recovery. It also expands repair assistance to cover essential common elements (like roofs, elevators, or electrical systems) if owners can document their share of costs. This directly affects condo and housing cooperative owners in disaster-impacted areas by streamlining access to federal debris removal and repair aid.
