New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s administration said it is seeking to allocate additional federal funds to two major Superstorm Sandy housing recovery programs and also to set aside funds for a program to demolish unsafe structures.
The Christie administration said it is seeking the Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) approval to transfer $160 million of the federal funds designated for grants and forgivable loans to small businesses to these programs.
If approved, the proposed amendment would enable thousands of additional Sandy-impacted homeowners to receive federal resources to assist them in their recovery effort. The public can also comment on these proposals until Nov. 20.
