Complaint: Asencio et al., v. Federal Emergency Management Agency
The lawsuit was filed on June 30, 2018, by LatinoJustice PRLDEF on behalf of survivors who evacuated from Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in September 2017 because the hurricane destroyed their homes and the island’s power grid and telecommunications network. The lawsuit was filed to block the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from ending the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program for Hurricane Maria survivors on June 30, 2018, which would have left about 2,000 people without stable housing. The court granted a temporary extension . . .
