Operation HOPE & FEMA Announce 'Project Restore Hope' - National Economic Recovery Initiative for Hurricane Victims: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance: "WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Operation HOPE (OHI), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal and corporate leaders today issued a public 'call for action and support' of Project Restore HOPE, the nation's first official economic recovery initiative for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Managed through OHI's emergency preparation and recovery division HOPE Coalition America, Project Restore HOPE will provide free financial counseling and resources, economic assistance and budgeting advice to hurricane victims through one-on-one counseling in disaster-affected communities, at FEMA disaster recovery centers, online and over the phone from recently launched call center facilities in Poway, Calif., and Dallas, Texas.
John Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, said this is the next necessary stage of recovery for hurricane victims.
'As victims recover from the loss of loved ones, troubled health, and the destruction of homes, workplaces, automobiles and their general ways of life, they are now faced with a challenge to survive financially, a challenge that may seem impossible to many and has a much longer road toward resolution,' Bryant said. 'We have no choice but to help these victims recover economically by providing resources, education and general financial counsel, things many of these victims have never had.'"
