    The Greater New Orleans area, where I provide mental health/family therapy, continues to have hurricane acute stress concerns. Thus, I support the continuation of this funding. Emotional recovery comes after and is longer than physical recovery.

    Having worked with the survivors of Ike through the CCP I know there are may people who have not recovered and not replaced what was lost. Please give the unfortunate and less equiped individuas the opportunity to fully recover by extending the grant.

    Burearocracy has held these fund and prohibited their use by those in need. It is the governments fault the funds were not dispersed in time *& it needs to be corrected.

    As a case manager I would really wish more affected people from the disaster can be helped. Some people are living in bad conditions, and they continue to get worse.

    One of the principal intended uses of these funds was to replace furniture and appliances destroyed or damaged by Ike in those homes that suffered massive damage. Due to bureaucratic and other factors, many of these homes have not yet been rebuilt, and the grant does not allow for this furniture or appliances to be stored or held by the seller until the new home can be completed.

    We are still receiving daily phone calls from folks in need of assistance to recovery from Hurricane Ike. We are actually having to turn people away with the deadline as it stands now.

    These folks need our help. Let's not abandon them. Most had little to begin with before the storm.

    I serve on an active "Ike Recover Committee" and urgently recommend the extension of the funding to that we can finish the work of "rebuilding homes and restoring lives".

    I am the Special Project Officer of the SSBG for the Family Service Center of Galveston County. The funds recieved from this grant to date have allowed our agency to assist over 1000 people who have suffered as a result of hurricane Ike. Despite the lag in reimbursement for direct services, our agency has been commited to this population of citizens in many cities within our county. We have made a signifanct impact in many lives. It is in my opinion that given the opportunity to exaust all funds allocated, many individuals who are still mentally traumatized by the aftermath of the recovery process could be benefited. It is vital that we be granted a no cost extension of this project for the betterment of our community.
