"Washington set aside $16.7 billion for Community Development Block Grants, one of the two biggest sources of rebuilding funds, especially for housing. But as of March 2007, only $1 billion - just 6 percent - had been spent, almost all of it in Mississippi." Course your source also said: Of $16.7 billion in Community Development Block Grants earmarked for long-term Gulf Coast rebuilding, percent that had been spent as of August 2007: 30 southernstudies.org Guess 24% was spent between March and August. Perhaps your point was that almost 6% is too much for MS? Or that most of the money spent by March has been spent in MS? We don't know about the MS-LA breakdown of the 30% spent by August - which likely means there wasn't a grounds to complain about inequitable treatment of LA. Does the pace of spending vary based on how efficient and pro-active local communities are? It seems so: Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities. hud.gov
