FEMA Funds Dry Up For Homeless Families: Full Disclosure Network® Report
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fema-funds-dry-up-for-homeless-families--full-disclosure-network-report-126508433.html

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Michael Arnold, CEO of the L.A. Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) appears with Rev. Andy Bales, CEO of the Union Rescue Mission in a Full Disclosure Network® video report on the dire circumstances of Federal funded emergency shelter programs. In this short video preview (2:30 min) Arnold and Bales reveal that funding from FEMA, the Federal Emergency and disaster services agency, has "dried up" to the point that the agency is over six months in arrears in payments to providers. FEMA's failure to pay homeless emergency shelter providers, such as the 120 year old Union Rescue Mission, has created a serious financial bind, causing the organization to withdraw from the FEMA winter emergency shelter programs entirely.

Six, eight minute segments from a two-part cable television series are featured online (here) and on public and community TV cable channels across the nation and throughout California where the homeless population is centered in Los Angeles County.

1. TPARTY SAYS CHARITY IS FOR CHURCHES!
NO room in the TPARTY NATION to take of the poor, the sick or the disabled. Oh well, what's a few dead bodies, here or there. That's the old TPARTY "collateral damage" to their objectives of having a nation by, for and of corporatations, not just plain old american corps, those transnational ones which have seen suffering around the world and still do business as USUAL.
