Finding Help After a House Fire?

Contact your nearest American Red Cross Office, normally they will put a person up in a motel for something like three nights. Did your fire make the news, because usually they are on the scene of a fire while it is still being fought. I also know, because I used to be a receptionist in a Red Cross Office, sometimes the person has to contact them.

The assumption is that in three days you should be able to find some kind of place to live. Also if needed they will give a voucher to take to a store to get a certain amount of clothing and depending on if it is winter, they would also give you a voucher for a winter coat, etc.

Then when you do find a place to live you can get a voucher for a set of bedding and a set of towels. You will be responsible for finding your own furniture if needed.

For the furniture you can go to the Salvation Army Office and ask for a voucher for necessary furniture and you take that voucher to the Salvation Army Thrift Store. That would be necessities only, no TVs or electronic items. You might also be responsible for transporting the furniture.
