Obama's Team Announces $438M In Storm Aid
Additional Funding For Housing, Businesses

POSTED: 11:36 am CST March 5, 2009

Feds Release Millions More In Katrina Funds

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan announced the funding Thursday during a tour of the Lower Ninth Ward and other areas hit hard by Hurricane Katrina.
"What we have seen today makes us disturbed, angry even, to see some of the families living the way that they have," Donovan said.
