9/24/2008 Statement of Congressman Boswell on HUD Accepting Iowa Disaster Recovery Plan For Immediate Release Releases $85 million in CDBG Funds to Iowa “Releasing the $85 million will enable the state of Iowa to move forward in its recovery plan to help homeowners repair and keep their homes, and buyout those in flood-prone areas. Part of this funding will also help small business owners and rebuild public infrastructure projects that FEMA or other sources cannot fund. The entire Iowa delegation has kept up the drum beat for the last few months encouraging HUD to expedite the process, and I’m very pleased that HUD has finally approved Iowa’s plan and released these much needed funds.” |
