TDHCA wants to hear about Rita damage

The Texas Dept of Housing and Community Affairs is asking for reports from "owners and/or managers" of housing damaged by Hurricane Rita. This per a group email that oddly doesn't seem to be on the agency's Web site. Responses go to Mike Garrett, by email to michael.garrett[at]tdhca.state.tx.us, or fax to (512)475-3359. Details wanted are name and address of development, TDHCA programs there, total units, number damaged by Rita (both usable and "vacant due to damage"), "common spaces" damaged by Rita, type of damage, and, if available, estimated cost of damage, estimated insurance or FEMA reimbursement expected, and status of repairs. The agency writes:

Your responses will help the department determine the availability of affordable housing in the region. These needs will aid in planning the distribution of funding to help rebuilding in impacted areas. Your response is requested by Friday, February 24, 2006.
