• Previous residence must be documented and verified to be in a Presidentially-designated disaster area (PDMDA) and destroyed or damaged to extend that reconstruction or replacement is necessary
• Borrower may be a prior homeowner or renter
• Property may be rebuilt or purchased (For purchases, the property isn’t required to be located in the same area as the previous residence.)
