A senior HUD official who spoke to reporters on a briefing call Friday cited concerns about "past mismanagement of funds" being heightened by "unrest in Puerto Rico." The senior HUD official said the funding process for Puerto Rico still needed to be worked out. "Make no mistake, the funds will be distributed to help those that suffered from hurricanes Irma and Mara; the people of Puerto Rico that desperately need the help." The eligibility guidelines for nine states hit by hurricanes, wildfires and other disasters will be published soon, the senior HUD official said.
