Sandy Recovery Chief says Aid must be "Immediate and Ongoing"
The Los Angeles Times (11/17, Serna, 629K) reported that HUD Secretary "Shaun Donovan, point man for allocating federal dollars toward Northeastern states recovering from SuperstormSandy, has made his first visit to the region in his new role." On Friday, he and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano visited impacted areas and spoke with residents. Donovan said, "After meeting with families and officials here in New Jersey, I am more convinced than ever that we must continue to provide immediate and ongoing support to those whose lives have been so disrupted. ... But the recovery must also look to the future, and encourage the kinds of investment and redevelopment that will help communities rebuild stronger, smarter and more resiliently."
