Judge Orders Another Extension Of Aid For Puerto Rico Storm Evacuees

Description

According to a report by Reuters, a federal judge has extended an order preventing the eviction of hundreds of Puerto Rican families who fled the hurricane-ravaged island in 2017 and have been living in hotels and motels across the United States. On Wednesday, US District Judge Timothy Hillman issued the order after hearing arguments over whether a longer-term injunction barring the federal government from cutting off housing assistance to people who were forced to leave their homes because of Hurricane Maria should be lifted. The Federal Emergency Management Agency had planned to end the assistance program on June 30. Hillman’s decision on Wednesday extended a previously-imposed temporary restraining order that allowed the families to stay in hotels until August 7th.

There are paths and spaces that mark your life, and this one marked mine.- I have many plans on the way. It is a family business that was started by my great-grandfather, then was passed on to my grandfather, father and uncles. I was going to focus on music but the blood and the legacy are calling.
