You don't have a construction loan (with another authority checking) and it sounds like first rodeo.

ask yourself this: What authority does this person have to give me wisdom on this topic?

FORCE MAJEURENeither party hereto shall be required to perform any term, condition or covenant of this Lease as long as such performance is delayed or prevented by force majeure, which shall mean an Act of God, strike, pandemic, lockout, material or labor restriction by any governmental authority, civil riot, flood or any unforeseeable causes not reasonably within the control of such party and which, by the exercise of due diligence, such party is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome.

Please adviseHave you asked around the local organizations, housing authorities, etc. about senior subsidies?

If it is someone else, then the key question is "what gives you the authority to lease this home?" 

Authorities are telling people that have evacuated to stay away.  

Also, the housing authority is a great resource.

Unfortunately news reporting has degraded and writers no longer cite sources, as is the case with this author. 

I have zero authority to make something happen, but I will give a push to whoever needs to be pushed to get to a resolution.At this point i am thinking of writing to the BBB or banking complaint organizatjon Thank you,Chris Smith | Consumer Direct Mortgage Loan Originator | NMLS #1295135

Once you hit your number, you have to re evaluate your situation, because at that point, if you no longer need more money, then you are sacrificing that finite amount of time you have left to accumulate more money that you don't need.While I don't agree with everything in the book "Die With Zero", the author Bill Perkins does do a good job of discussing the interplay  of time, health, and money.
