Richmond Announces $82.4M in Disaster Recovery Grants for Southern University of New Orleans | 2015-07-22 | 2015 | 2015-07 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON Today, Rep. Richmond (LA-02) announced the availability of additional disaster recovery grants for Southern University of New Orleans (SUNO) for damage suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina. These funds, through the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be used for the construction of four new school buildings on the SUNO campus: SUNO is an essential part of our community and provides a quality education to many of our hard-working students, said Rep. Richmond. This funding from the Department of Homeland Security will help revitalize the campus after the devastation caused by the storm. As we approach the 10th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, it is important to remember that our recovery will not be complete until all of our people and institutions are made whole. I will continue to work in Congress to ensure that this is a reality.
