SALEM, Ore. – RealEstateRama – In response to the devastation caused by Oregon wildfires and straight-line winds beginning Sept. 7 and continuing, FEMA has extended the period for soliciting property owners to participate in Multi-Family Lease and Repair (MLR). With MLR, multiple firm-fixed priced contracts may be awarded to provide housing assistance to affected families.

Under MLR, FEMA is seeking owners with properties previously used as multi-family rental housing (3 or more available units), that with financial assistance, could be quickly repaired to local, state and federal codes and standards, and offered as temporary housing for FEMA applicants.

This request for information is not a request for quotes. Responses to this notification will be used to determine which properties meet MLR criteria and provide the timeliest, most cost-effective means of providing direct assistance to eligible disaster survivors.

For the complete information on this MLR Request for Information, visit https://go.usa.gov/x7jjr.
