[FoCHAT] From CHAT: Unfairly Stuck in Road Home?--LRA Bd Mtg Public Comments, Tues. BR

Sat Dec 8 08:04:59 PST 2007

Dear FoCHAT Members,

  1. 1-hour radio interview show with two CHAT members: 2 NO (CHAT) interviewees and one from the CA wildfires.

  You can go to 

  http://www.modavox.com/Voiceamericacms/WebModules/HostModaview.aspx?HostId=381&ChannelId=5&Flag=1   (on the left, pull down the box between the arrows to the most recent archived radio show about surviving disasters)

  hear  excellent interviews from coreCHAT and Women of the Storm member Barbara Blackwell (who tried to evacuate by car for Hurricane Katrina but had to turn back and was eventually evacuated from the Superdome with an amazing story of coming back early after the flood to New Orleans) and CHAT member Nikki Najiola (who has another illustrative story of post K recovery).  We are proud to have activists for construction change like Barbara and Nikki as part of our CHAT network.

  2. COX 10 TV and CHAT  Thanks again to COX10 and George Blow for filming an entire CHAT meeting and showing it on TV on the following dates.

Tues., Dec. 4, 2 PM
Wed., Dec. 5, 1 PM
Thurs., Dec. 6, 4:30 PM

  I am not sure of next week's schedule yet but if I find out that the CHAT meeting will be shown next week too, I will update the COX10 schedule at our website http://chat.thinknola.com

  3. Applicants unfairly stuck in Road Home processing or erroneous calculations 

  Applicants who are in Dispute Resolution or Appeals and not able to get their ICF to schedule a RH field review of their LA cert. appraisal that was higher than 20% more than RH's pre-storm value:

  Applicants who are in Appeals for pre-storm value error and not able to get ICF to schedule a LA certified appraisal paid for by RH:

  If you are in one of these categories, 
  please tell us of your latest attempts within the last two weeks to get the RHP to fix your problems http://chatforfairness.org.

Meeting, Tues., Dec. 11. The Housing part will be at 11:15 and public comments about the RH will probably be at about 11:45 (but could be a little earlier or later). 

  Any member of the public is allowed to make 2 min of public comment (polite and not redundant). 

  You can come for just part of the meeting. 

  You need to look for the sergeant at arms whenever you arrive (ask for this official looking person who should be at the front of the room) and ask to fill out a card indicating that you want to be called to speak during the public comments period of the Housing part of the meeting.

  There should be an agenda posted on Monday and directions to the Baton Rouge site for the meeting at:
  http://lra.louisiana.gov/events.html

            Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Event: LRA Board of Directors meeting
Time: 9 a.m.
Location: Baton Rouge Community College
Louisiana Boardroom 
5310 Florida Blvd
