If it's Thursday this must be hurricane relief
- A good catch in yesterday's HAC News issue: "Katrina and Rita evacuees will no longer receive expedited placements in RD multifamily housing, but will be treated as regular applicants...." Scroll down to the fifth item in the list. The public announcement quoted is a Jan. 3, 2006 USDA Rural Development Unnumbered Letter, available beginning page 22 of this PDF.
- More from Mississippi: yes, it looks like most of the $5 billion in new CDBG hurricane relief money is going to homeowners. I.e., not renters. HUD reportedly expecting to release guidelines for use of the CDBG money next week. [UPDATE: In further reactions to yesterday's CDBG announcement, Texas political leaders are cranky about the size of their share.]
- Today's Federal Register comment requests include the form -- No. 5884-A -- for a kindly little tax credit rewarding employers who kept their staff on the payroll while their businesses were inoperable due to Hurricane Katrina, Rita or Wilma.
- Also today, comments are requested on a planned "Customer Service and Satisfaction Survey of Public Housing Residents."
