Victor, Thanks; I actually work for HUD, so I'll be doing my research tomorrow.

Hi Claudia, I think you should contact the nearest FHA and HUD office to see what sort of benefits you're entitled to, as I know that there are programs you can access to help you with the funding of such major home renovations and repairs. I would also imagine that the state department has implemented additional programs through FHA and HUD to offer relief to home owners in the wake of the damage suffered to structures and the like because of the current weather woes. In any case, I think you should start at these offices, after you apply for the FEMA relief funding, or, maybe do it at the same time, so you can piggy back the funding if one fails so you're not left in the lurch. Good luck and I hope you get it worked out. Victor Co-moderator Blind Movie Buffs List Guidedogs List [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
