"One to the challenges homeowners and owners of rental properties will have is insurance policies do not cover damages caused by flooding.
This means they will not have funds to repair properties. For homeowners this will result in a SBA loan, if they qualify, and a additional monthly payment and many rental property owners will not repair properties which will reduce the availability rental property.
The cost to rent a single family or multifamily unit could double, making available properties unaffordable to low and moderate income families."
Fred D. Smith, senior advisor to the chairman, HOPE Coalition America
