From the transcript
Um, you can apply at home and also come into the Disaster Assistance Center to provide documents documents if you've already done it. Again, you can come in and ask us questions or provide documents to us. The, the more documentation we have up front, the faster we can make a determination. One of our biggest priorities here are for people that are— do not have housing, to provide them with that temporary housing. And so in many cases, we're going to try to focus on those cases first so we can get people into some type of temporary housing that they can be in for long term or temporary term, but 18 months for homeowners, 3 years for renters, as that's our priority.
