Letter to Mr. Brock Long, Administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency - Initiation of Disaster Housing Assistance Program

Letter

Date: June 13, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Housing and Property

Congressman Richard E. Neal spearheaded a letter with the entire Massachusetts delegation to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday requesting that the agency take immediate action in the initiation of the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) to assist those who are still struggling to find housing following Hurricane Maria.

"The 2018 hurricane season is already underway," they wrote, "and the island of Puerto Rico needs support to continue recovery but also build sustainable infrastructure for the future. Initiating the DHAP program will be another tool for the Puerto Rican community for these undertakings."

Massachusetts is home to one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the United States.
