Some Houstonians who are still waiting for home repairs after Hurricane Harvey have an advocate who’s working to get answers for them.
A number of area residents have reached out to the Houston Area Urban League for help. "This is one of the reasons why I’m here today," explains Advocacy Specialist Carmela Walker with the Houston Area Urban League who I met up with at a meeting with the Texas General Land Office Commissioner.
The Houston Area Urban League is acting as a liaison to help residents whose homes were destroyed by Harvey and Carmela Walker says the lingering repair issues are causing a domino effect. "If the shelter isn’t there, and they don’t have access then they can’t work to stabilize to help communities and participate in the economy and I think that’s the most important piece," Walker says.
