We applaud FEMA for extending the opportunity for government agencies and private non-profits affected by Katrina to apply for assistance that may be available to them.
Remember, federal and state assistance is different from that of the voluntary agencies. Even if you have received help from those agencies, you also need to apply for federal and state assistance.
It is critical for families to take advantage of the extended deadline and apply now. This is our final effort to reach out to anyone who still hasn't applied for assistance.
