Marcia Fudge: “There is a problem at HUD. I absolutely agree with you 100 percent.”

We believe that we are today 1.5 million homes short--housing units short of where we should be.

It is difficult to run a government on grants.

We need a permit and authorization like FEMA does so we can go in immediately and start to help people.

I am committed more than I ever have been to try to help people who live in conditions that I have not seen in many places.
