Louisiana Gets 6.2 Billion Housing Grant For Rebuilding From Hurricane

Not surprising, Louisiana is receiving the largest amount of a 11.5 billion dollar grant from Congress.

Louisiana will receive $6.2 billion in federal block grant assistance – the maximum it was eligible to receive – it was announced by HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson Wednesday.
Jackson, along with Gulf Coast rebuilding coordinator Donald Powell, announced the distribution of $11.5 billion allocated by Congress.
The block grants allow the individual states to determine how best to use the funds during their recovery. Jackson said he hoped that the majority of the money would be used to help secure housing for displaced residents.
“Today, we take another major step toward fulfilling the President’s pledge to rebuild the Gulf region,” said Jackson. “This is an investment in long-term recovery and re-building lives. It’s my hope that families who once had a home, can return home.”  via WWLTV.com.
