| - This is a story pulled at random from Tioga Opportunities, Inc.'s files: |
| As a result of the catastrophic June flood, many individuals were left with no housing. For Mr. R, he escaped the flood waters with only the clothes on his back. He lost no only his housing, but all of his personal belongings. In the days following, while many of the municipal agencies were concerned with intrastructure issues, CCA worked with a number of agencies to become a emergency supply distribution center. He along with many other families, was provided with drinking water, clothing,personal care items, emergency food, agency housing, furniture, and cleaning supplies. Without transportation, he was transported to the different agencies to register for assistance. When these agencies were unable to provide assistance because he neither owned the trailer or was the primary leasee, he was unalbe to abtain reinburse for any of his loses.The only asistance he was able to obtain was as a result of the generosity of CSBG funds and Angel Action
