Hurry The Plain English Movement

I'm researching some property related issues that surfaced after Hurricane Katrina the government's "monumental negligence" drowned New Orleans.  My quest to figure out exactly how one navigates certain disaster relief programs led me to the HUD website and its information page on the federal government's Disaster Housing Assistance Program.  Eventually I got to "Frequently Asked Questions - September and October 2009 TRPs."

I figured what better place to find simple answers to commonly, indeed frequently, asked questions than the FAQ page. 

So, if you want to know "which families are eligible for the October 2009 TRP," you'll learn that:

The only families eligible to receive the October 2009 TRP are those that have been issued an HCV on or after July 31, 2009 and have returned the FRTA to the PHA by September 30, 2009.  Families that were issued HCV vouchers before July 32, 2009 will not be eligible to receive the October 2009 TRP.

You'll also learn why "PHAs [are] required to complete the HAP registries with new information about the HCV conversion process."

There's also an answer to this: "If a family is in the HCV conversion process at a separate PHA from where the family receives TRP, is the PHA assisting with TRP required to contact the PHA assisting with the HCV conversion process in order to determine if the family is eligible for the September and/or October 2009 TRP?"

And to think people got the run around.

Sad that a disaster relief agency would condition benefits in such incomprehensible terms. I believe that Katrina's impact disproportionately fell on poor minorities unlikely to enjoy the time, resources or education to understand these terms.

Hi,
This is sad news. Katrina has to understand the needs and priorities of poor families who also want to enjoy their life.
