HUD Deadline Change Sparks West Virginia Flood Aid Debate
HUD officials say the July 10 deadline for housing southern West Virginia flood victims remains to be met, while Sen. Robert Byrd and others contend most housing commitments could be fulfilled sooner. Spokesmen cite rainfall and labor shortages delaying mobile home sites and repairs, with Byrd claiming about 2 160 families were to be housed by Friday, though 50 declined offers for better sites. Protests loom as Tug Valley recovery leaders question HUD’s good faith amid the ongoing relief effort.
