	DRAFT INTRODUCTION / WELCOME PAGE
Housing Info Input Links	This Housing Assessment Tool is designed to assist FEMA in collecting information from designers, builders, manufacturers, and/or vendors ("Providers" herein) on commercially available housing products that may be suitable for disaster housing needs. Please note that your participation is strictly voluntary and does NOT constitute or guarantee procurement of your product(s) by FEMA. We encourage and thank you for your participation, which will assist us in continuously enhancing our nation’s disaster response and recovery capacity and capability.
	Before you begin, please note that the Housing Assessment Tool is designed to obtain information only on a Per Unit Model basis per each assessment session. If you have more than one housing product or more than one model within a product line, it would be necessary to utilize more than one assessment session. You may select to submit information for only one particular model best fit to disaster housing needs. Typically, FEMA utilizes housing options that can be temporary home for a family of 2 to 6 individuals, for a period that may range from 30 days to 2 years. However, we do encourage you to submit information on options that may accommodate a different occupancy numbers and duration.
	Next Step
	Please go next to the Instruction Page by clicking on the link located on the left side of the screen. The Instruction Page will explain to you what kind of information is needed, and how to get help if you experience difficulty or have comments/suggestions for us. There you will again find other links (which are also located here on the left) that will bring you to the various sections within the Housing Production Information Input Page.
	There is also a Help Button for you to contact us via email if you need any assistance throughout the process. Or you may email us at: FEMA-JHSG@dhs.gov
	We thank you again for your participation!

Instruction

DRAFT INSTRUCTION PAGE
Please read and follow the steps below in submitting your information on your housing product(s). It is important that you complete all sections required.
^ Do note that this has been written for the web-based version. Hence, information below on creating User Profile will not apply to you while using the Excel-based version.
STEP 1: Participant Registration	§ Livability
Registration will ask you to provide general contact information for your organization and designated point-of-contact (POC). If your organization is a partnership of multiple entities, please provide a representative organization and POC for the group.	This section will consider how well the Housing Product may be designed and equipped to accommodate a typical household’s daily living essentials (e.g., cooking, showering) and physical and emotional needs (e.g., privacy, security, telecommunication).
Upon your registration, an User Profile^ will be created for you and you will be assigned an user name and password, which will allow you to access the Tool whenever you need to provide updates and additional information.
	§ Timeliness
	This section will consider the Provider’s capacities for production, delivery and set up. The intent is to assess how fast and how many of the Housing Product may be made available for occupancy.
STEP 2: Product Information
The Housing Input Tool comprises approximately 100 questions grouped in 4 major categories (See Below). You will likely need access to your product’s technical (i.e., design documents) and business data (i.e., cost and production capacity) to properly answer them.
	§ Cost
	This section will consider the cost of providing a housing unit to a displaced household up to 18 months, which will include the cost of construction, assembly, delivery and field set up.
You may find that you need additional information in order to complete all the questions. The Assessment Tool will permit you to save the information and to return with updates.	STEP 3: Next Steps
	This may involve no action on your part at all. Upon submitting your product's information, we will email you confirming our receipt. If feasible and necessary, FEMA may contact your designated POC for further information concerning the Product, which may include a site visit of your Unit and production facilities.
§ Range of Use
This section will consider the Product’s Structural/Safety Designs, Code Compliance and System Capacities, Operational and Logistical Requirements, and potential for permanent housing use. The intent is to help assess how usable and adaptable a housing product may be under various environmental, geographic, climate and legal conditions and requirements
	* Please refrain from contacting or sending marketing material to FEMA. This Assessment Tool is separate from the FEMA procurement process.
