Louisiana Homeowners Assistance Program Task Force gets brief from public over statutory and regulatory issues

We the people of Louisiana have heard all about this big SBA fix. We might believe you if you start following the active fixes currently in place. We call your attention to laws and regulations that our Senators Kennedy and Cassidy worked to get us all.

The Federal Law that I would like to bring to the attention of the Task Force this morning is Public Law 115-123. This law was signed by President Donald Trump on Feb. 9, 2018 and detailed in H.R. 1892 under the common name of Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.

Let me read in part, what concerns us today.

"That with respect to any such duplication of benefits, the Secretary and any grantee under this section shall not take into consideration or reduce the amount provided to any applicant for assistance from the grantee where such applicant applied for and was approved, but declined assistance related to such major declared disasters that occurred in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 from the Small Business Administration under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(b))."

DRRA Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 , 2019 , 2020, 2021 to 2022 Homeowners Perspective

Each year new disasters offer the opportunity for politicians to create new bills that do little more than pump tax dollars into the same dysfunctional programs we have had since 1954.

Promote a Safe and Healthy workplace environment

If you build a safe, hostile free work environment you will find workers are more willing to return to work than to remain on Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation assistance. Too many studies show those willing to work will work.

Two unemployment programs that the state of Louisiana Workforce should launch.

Short-Time Compensation and Partial Unemployment Insurance assistance. Federally funded American Rescue Act Plan of 2021 that could strength local economy while building back the labor force at a manageable and economically based pace.

Is the increased cost of building materials in 2020, 2021 making your disaster recovery impossible to afford?

Do you know HUD 2019 Guidance? Have you researched the meaning of, "Reassess Unmet Need When Necessary". Has your state informed you of their reassessment processes? Can you manage the additional cost caused by the 2020, 2021 pandemic economic downturn?

Louisiana playing the insiders game taking disaster funds from the taxpayers and giving it to it's contractors

Nationally we are seeing just how simple it is to take back funds allocated to help during a disaster. From a federal level all the way down to state levels, disaster allocations are always looked at as a pot of gold for local government as long as they..

RE: Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin on Status of Facilities Authorized Under Section 13(3) Federal Reserve Act

With a congress knowledgeable of the issues caused by the pandemic it is clear to me we can allocate the funds you have removed very quickly and more efficiently than before. This time we can get the money in the hands of business owners at a local level.

The 2020 pandemic disaster intensifies past disaster by pushing up the costs to rebuild by over 80% nationally

What started as a calm murmur of the possibility that disaster victims will be paying more for materials to recover after a disaster has turned into a loud distress siren. Between pandemic caused reduction in soft wood production and 20 import tariffs.

What proposals would you make to secure your future during the 2020 / 2021 declared pandemic?

When congress runs out of ways to not do anything for disaster relief they turn to the public and ask if we wouldnt mind if they repeat what the 111th congress did. Is that Ok America? I think its like handing in someones old research project.

You wait for someone else to speak. You think your congressional representatives will focus on your issues.

Do you think by not speaking with your congressional representatives disaster recovery assistance will just magically be created? Do you think our dysfunctional parties then your disaster recovery in mind? Learn the American Political Process and speak.
