    There is still much need in Galveston County to complete recovery efforts. There are waiting lists at agencies of people that have not been helped yet.

    We support the extension of this grant - so many people are waiting for additional educational classes and other services as they continue to be effected by the events associated with Hurricane Ike.

    As a participant in the disaster ecovery process, it has been crucial to judiciously screen applicants, and provide appropriate swervices; this is more time consuming than serving every applicant without verification of needs.

    I am on the board of the Galveston County Food Bank. Our programs were extremely important following hurricane Ike. SSBG funding has been a godsend for us to continue / expand our services to the needy in our county. The problem is that they were not immediately available and a two year program has been condensed into less than one year. The extension will allow our mission to continue. Thanks

    I presently have 16 clients on my case load that are still in need of case management and are applicants for the grant funding under the Galveston County Housing Assistance Program and each are in need of extensive primary dwelling repairs due to Hurricane Ike. Since the money is already allocated, we should continue our efforts to assiting these individuals and fellow citizens in helping each reach self-sufficieny.

    PLEASE, URGENTLY SUPPORT PASSAGE OF SB 3774. THE MONEY WAS ALLOCATED FOR THIS PURPOSE AND STILL COMPLETELY UNUSED DUE TO THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THE CITIZENS.NOT UNTIL WE OFFERED THE SERVICES IS THAT THEY COME TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AVAILABLE SOURCES. COME TO THE GULF AREA AND VISIT KEMAH,TEXAS CITY,GALVESTON ETC. AND MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT.
