Hundreds of Houston families are being sought to claim millions in unclaimed Hurricane Harvey relief funds, following revelations of a distribution failure by the City of Houston, prompting Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham and community activists to launch a search effort.
The search is on for hundreds of Houston ians owed millions in Harvey relief.Back in January, FOX 26 was the first to reveal a "colossal fail" by the City of Houston which, in the months after Hurricane Harvey , forcibly evicted residents of four flood-prone apartment complexes and then neglected to pass through millions of federal re-location dollars to the displaced tenants.
FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Android TV, and Vizio!In cooperation with the City, Harris County and an array of community activists, Buckingham is launching a search for the hundreds of families short-changed re-location funds - as much as $30,000 per household."We are talking about people getting along to make a difference," said Whitmire about the effort.
