We’ve pushed since 2005 for this program to be utilized & made permanent! If done well, it’ll be *major* improvement to disaster housing recovery. Imagine difference it would’ve made for evacuees from Harvey, Maria, wildfires, more. washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01Show this thread
I've done this for many years and it is a great experience and way to give back to the community. And, information you collect will be reported to Congress in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report.
