You literally saved our lives. Carol now will have food stamps and Medicaid. We both would have been homeless and hungry. The food was so needed and your encouragement at a time when we could only pray, not daring to hope, and like angels God sent you and our prayers were answered. Thank you Thank you for helping and thank God for you. Sincerely Diana 4

5 Quotes from LTRC clients The most important thing I have received has been the information, the commitment, the dedication, and the help at the right moment. My appreciation for seeing beyond and letting us access other programs, to make our lives more bearable." Ms. Holmes cried of relief and said after the work was completed that she was able to sleep and breathe better in her house.

Financial assistance awarded to Mr. Longinos Longinos raising their 3 grandchildren Financial assistance awarded to Ms. Mateo Single mom of three including one disabled daughter "I just want to say thank you again for all that you have helped me with as well as the resources..." 5

6 NLIHC Update Debra Susie and Sonya Acosta, National Low Income Housing Coalition Florida update- from NLIHC FEMA FEMA announced that the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program is available for survivors in Bay, Gulf, and Jackson counties. Under TSA, FEMA pays for hotel or motel rooms for eligible survivors. FEMA has approved 9,292 Individual Assistance (IA) applications and $38.1 million for all Individuals and Households programs (IHP). Dollars or applications approved does not necessarily mean money has been distributed. New State/FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers are open in Liberty, Gadsden, Washington, Leon, Jackson, Holmes, and Franklin counties. FEMA published a map of Mobile Registration Intake Centers (MRIC) deployed across the Florida Panhandle to assist Hurricane Michael survivors in applying for FEMA assistance and to make referrals to community partners. There are currently 11 MRICs listed. & State perspectives Governor Rick Scott announced that utility providers are aiming to have nearly all power restored by early November. The electrical infrastructure in Calhoun and Jackson counties required a rebuild, and over half of customers in these areas are still without power. More than 400,000 households were without power following the storm that number is now closer to 47,700. An update from Governor Scott reports 1,480 people are staying in the nine shelters that remain open. The update also states that Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is working with the Capital Area Action Agency to allow people in Franklin County to use surplus FEMA trailers while also looking for other temporary housing solutions. The Department of Health and Human Services has activated the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP) to allow uninsured Floridians free replacements of certain medical supplies, equipment, and medications lost or damaged by Hurricane Michael through November 15. Survivors can visit or call for more information. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) has extended special Medicaid exceptions for recipients who reside in one of the 12 Hurricane Michael disaster-designated counties through November 9. The Florida Healthy Kids Corporation announced that it will cover KidCare insurance premiums for November, December, and January for families in the 12 counties impacted by Hurricane Michael. Coverage renewals for these families will also be extended until February 1, & Local Perspectives The executive director of the Panama City Housing Authority told reporters that half of their 450 homes will be condemned following Hurricane Michael. The housing authority is still determining how many voucher holders will need to relocate from their current homes. Low income tenants in the area are struggling to find viable options for shelter and many are still waiting to hear from FEMA. The Tampa Bay Times reports that 928 people are still unaccounted for two weeks after Hurricane Michael. The Red Cross believes this is an overestimation of the true number of missing individuals since people do not always follow up on missing people reports (NLIHC October 24 Update) 6
