New Road Home Initiatives Announced by HUD Secretary

The New Orleans Times-Picayune (5/5, Hammer, 138K) reported, "The state should use up to $30 million of its remaining federal Road Home money to work more directly with homeowners struggling to finish rebuilding and to address thousands of properties that families have chosen not to fix," HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said on Friday during a visit to New Orleans. He "announced that $7 million to $10 million of the money Congress sent to Louisiana in 2007 to finish the Road Home homeowner rebuilding program would be used for a new case-management initiative." Donovan said, "You have to have the case management along with the enforcement, side-by-side."
