Tips for finding temporary housing due to your insurance claim:

  1. Collect and secure all valuables you can take from your home, most importantly identification like Passports, IDs and birth certificates, as well as money, jewelry, and electronics that you can take with you

  2. Find a safe place to sleep for a few days - whether that is with a family member or friend, or in a hotel, make sure that you and your family are in safe living conditions and out of harm’s way

  3. Call your insurance to check coverage for temporary housing - specifically, additional living expenses (ALE). This coverage provides you with reimbursement for costs of temporary housing.

  4. Remember to continue paying your mortgage - you want to make sure you continue in good standing with your bank/lender

  5. Ask your insurance about finding temporary housing - they may work with a relocation/temporary housing service provider that will help connect you with the housing that best fits your needs. These companies include ALE, CRS Temporary Housing and Temporary Housing Directory, to name a few.

  6. If you want to search for a temporary home on your own, you can use a vacation rental platform such as Airbnb or VRBO for short term furnished rentals, or HAR.com for long term rentals

  7. Ask your insurance for a cash advance, if possible, for upfront rental payments for your temporary housing. Otherwise, you may need to pay upfront, send a receipt to your insurance company and wait for reimbursement. The former is preferred for policyholders!
