Hotels for Harvey victims in federal program being extended

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Federal disaster agency officials say Hurricane Harvey survivors who need more time to find housing are getting an extension to stay temporarily in hotels while they look for an alternative place to live.

The agency said Sunday those already in the program will get a phone call advising them what they need to do to stay at the hotel
