Chronicle on Houston Disaster Recovery Repair

Saturday’s Houston Chronicle ran a short story on the status of the single-family housing repair program funded with Hurricane Ike disaster relief.  The full story quotes TxLIHIS Co-Director John Henneberger:

Houston on track to repair 44 Ike-damaged homes
