In an article for the Star Telegram and the AP, more information is given on the increased HUD assistance coming through for Texas… to the tune of over a billion dollars:
The federal government is releasing $1.3 billion in federal housing assistance to 62 Texas counties help rebuild from the damage caused by three hurricanes in 2008, the top U.S. housing official announced Friday.
The money is to be spent on producing affordable rental housing, to rebuild critical infrastructure and to support economic revitalization, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan said at a Houston news conference
“This funding will go a long way to help the hardest-hit areas of the state get on the road to recovery,” he said.
Obviously at this point any funding to aid the recovery efforts is welcome and supported.
