Yes, homeowners insurance pays for temporary housing through its "loss of use" or "additional living expense" coverage section, provided that the home is rendered uninhabitable by a covered peril specified in your policy contract. If a major fire, severe storm, or burst pipe forces you out of your house, the insurance company will reimburse the actual costs of staying in a hotel or renting a temporary home. This coverage is designed to maintain your normal standard of living, paying for temporary rent and sometimes additional utility or food expenses that exceed normal baseline costs, up to specified policy limits.
