Disaster Survivors Fairness Act of 2025
HR 1245, the Disaster Survivors Fairness Act of 2025, establishes a unified online application system for federal disaster assistance to streamline the process for survivors. The bill creates a "universal application" that would allow individuals to apply once for multiple types of assistance, with an online dashboard providing transparency on application status and outcomes. It expands direct assistance for repairs, improves rental assistance programs, and requires FEMA to publish regular reports on assistance distribution to identify disparities. These changes aim to make the disaster assistance process more efficient and equitable for survivors of major disasters.
