WHY:
Since September thousands
of evacuees from the Gulf Coast region have been living in New
York City in Hotels. Many are now facing eviction from their temporary housing
stay without proper assistance. The promises made by the Bloomberg Administration
to assist the New York Katrina/Rita Evacuees remain largely unfulfilled. Confounding
levels of bureaucratic red tape squanders what precious time remains for thee
vacuees to find permanent housing and stable employment
opportunities.
The Human Resources Administration
(H.R.A.), the Department of Homeless Services (D.H.S.)
the Homeless Diversionary Unit (H.D.U.) and a host
of NGO’s that have been contracted to provide services to the evacuees are
providing inefficient case management solutions and creating a daunting gauntlet
of red tape.
