We've been running into some roadblocks that are a little frustrating. We know there are hundreds of homeowners who need our assistance. They don't seem to be performing all the remediation they need to and think they are done, but drywall and insulation aren't out and pressure washing and disinfecting still need done. Many people haven't accepted that there is really as big a problem as there is. But yesterday and today, the mold started really showing.
We ran a story in the paper that we were here to help and had the local radio station announce that we were here and business is taking off. Today we started with 4 backlogged requests for assistance. Right now (6:00pm) we have 47 backlogged and the pace is picking up. In fact, that number started out at 44 when I started typing the sentence before all the interruptions that put it back up to 47.
Help is still needed to continue the cleanup and I expect many more requests to come in tomorrow. Come and join the fun!
In addition. An effort was begun today among the local churches to find congregations to sponsor individual families who are now homeless. The goal is to handle the midterm housing needs where there seems to be a gap. Several hundred houses are unlivable, though people may be living in a nasty house.
Please ask your church if you can participate, even helping to sponsor a family in this effort. This is the most pressing need that seems to be without a government solution.
