Really from everyone everywhere, what you did is so hard. When you look at it from afar, it just looks like a woman standing in froth of her home with a family. But she has to endure every single night not knowing whether she is going to be able to sleep another night in her home. And she did this for all of us.

So with that, as i said, the good news is that cdbg is funded at 3. 030 billion in py14. The House Appropriations committee had recommended funding at 1. 6 billion. So were pleased that that did not happen. All this work that weve done in collaboration with hud is extremely important in the implementation of funds.
