Drywall, which was manufactrured in China, has been linked to respiratory problems here in the US. Now, the HUD is ready to issue guidelines on federal aid for Chinese drywall remediation.
In continuing coverage, the Cape Coral (FL) Daily Breeze (12/15, Cassidy) reports, “Relief for local victims of toxic drywall could be on the way soon from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.” Sen. Bill Nelson, (D-FL) “announced Friday that HUD is close to deciding how victims of toxic drywall can receive assistance from the federal government.” In a letter to Nelson, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan wrote, “HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development will shortly be issuing guidance making it clear that actions to remediate drywall can be eligible for assistance under the Community Development Block Grant program.”
