Timely Assistance: Evaluating the Speed of Road Home Grantmaking
Source: RAND Corporation
From press release:
Louisiana homeowners who sought federally-funded grants through “The Road Home” program for homes damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have had to wait more than eight months on average to receive grants, according to a study issued today by the RAND Corporation.
Only about half of eligible applicants who applied for compensation in December 2006 had received grants one year later.
The study suggests the Louisiana Recovery Authority, which administers the program, take three steps to expedite grant-making for the remaining eligible applications: focus on applications that have been “stuck,” in some cases for hundreds of days; establish time goals for applications remaining in the later segments of the grant-making process; and, encourage coordinated efforts by companies and agencies participating in the program to remove sources of delay.
