E. Burns Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hello, Has anyone participated or familiar with the Disaster Housing Assistance Inspection Program? Ron and I are thinking about getting involved. We are taking a class next month, so as I now I don't have too much information on the program. Any insight is appreciated.

a46geo Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I took the class a couple of years ago. I think that it pays $35 per inspection and you can do 12 or so a day. The upside is that you are actually helping disaster victims to get some fast cash. $2500 a week income when you are slow can come in handy too. The down side is the 7 day a week, minimum 30 day commitment and the expenses of living away from home. However where you are located, # 3 may not be an issue.

woodbyter Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 It is an excellent program and the added bonus of really being where the help is needed and being able to make a difference in people's lives. This program helps get the needed expertise (you) out there and the evaluation done and repairs as quickly as possible. In the old days the government sent us(government workers) to these areas to do the evaluations however we were hampered by the lack of personnel to meet the needs in big disaster areas. I think it is a great program and generally you can work in a geographic aera you are familar with. Not pulling some "Kentucky Hill Hoppers" like me and sending us to California.LOL Great program.

E. Burns Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I am looking forward to attending the class and obtaining more information. I think it would be great for Ron and I as we don't have any family obligations. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
