The length of non-congregate sheltering depends on the needs in each area and will be in accordance with the guidance and direction from appropriate health officials. Sheltering eligibility for sheltering activities may not extend beyond the state or local public health order or the HHS Public Health Emergency for COVID-19. Length of sheltering for individuals is based on health guidance and be limited to what is needed to address the immediate threat to public health and safety. The mission will depend on the level of community transmission in each area. Areas with high rates of community transmission, hospital admissions, and fatalities may need up to eight weeks. Reassessment at periodic intervals is necessary.
Regional Administrators should approve non-congregate sheltering in 30-day increments, or less if a re-assessment determines there is no longer a public health need, but not to exceed the duration of the order of the state or local public health officer. The state or local will need to provide a re-assessment of the continuing need for emergency non-congregate sheltering from a state public health official, as well as a detailed justification for the continuing need for emergency non-congregate sheltering. The non-congregate sheltering for an individual should be in accordance with the guidance and direction from appropriate health officials.
