In addition, Mrs. Northern is a member of the Boards of the Gal-Tex Hotel Corporation and Silver Lake Ranches Co., Inc. Mrs. Northern has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Moody Foundation since it was established in 1942 and has gained the reputation of being one of Texas' most outstanding philanthropists. The Foundation, one of the largest in the state, has contributed in excess of $75 million to educational and charitable causes throughout Texas. During her tenure on the Board, more than $36 million has aided educational in- stitutions throughout Texas, $13 million has supported expansion of health care services to all areas of the State, $11 million has brought the arts and humanities to people in small towns and rural areas, and more than $5 million has supported new frontiers in the sciences, bringing scientific benefits to the general public. In excess of $10 million has helped the economically disadvantaged through new community and social service programs. Mrs. Northern also maintains an active interest in educational institutions and pro- jects. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of Hollins College near Roanoke, Virginia. She has also served on the University of Texas, Committee of Seventy-five, and the Century Council of Texas A&M University. Mrs. Northern is an associate of both the University of Texas and Rice University. Mrs. Northern has established a tradition of service to others and has maintained a commitment to the preservation of our great cultural heritage. She continues to give freely of her time to support these activities that offer promise of building the great State of Texas and of providing opportunities for growth and fulfillment of our youth of today, as well as those for generations to come. Mrs. Mary Moody Northern is one of the most distinguished and honored citizens of the state of Texas. The daughter of Mr. William Lewis Moody, Jr., and wife, Libbie Shearn Moody, Mrs. Northern was born February 10, 1892. She is a native Texan and a life- time resident of her beloved Galveston. Mrs. Northern's grandfather, William Lewis Moody, Sr., came from Virginia to Texas in 1852, served in the Confederate Army, and achieved rank of Colonel. Immediately after the close of the Civil War, he moved to Galveston and established a cotton factoring business in the old Henley Building on Galveston's historic Strand. Soon after, he added banking. In 1883 Colonel Moody built the W.L. Moody & Company Building on the corner of 22nd and the Strand. He was joined in the business in 1886 by his son, William Lewis Moody, Jr., and with the subsequent additions of insurance, ranching, newspapers, and hotels, the Moody Enterprises expanded into one of the largest financial empires in the United States. In 1954, upon the death of her father, Mrs. Northern, who at the time was well past retirement age, became the President of more than fifty corporations. Her business acu- men and her close attention to details during that period of time gained her the repution of the "First Lady of Finance" and one of the most illustrious women in America. Cur- rently, Mrs. Northern is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Moody Foundation, which was established by her late mother and father. She is also Senior Chairman of the Board of Moody National Bank of Galveston, a member of the Board of Directors of the American National Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, the American National In- ASHTON VILLA GALVESTON BICENTENNIAL HEADQUARTERS BUILT BY J.

The Galveston Housing Authority (GHA) was able to secure subsidized private-market housing for the displaced public housing residents, as well as thousands of other renters who had never lived in public housing. Yet, the demand for housing assistance continued to outstrip the supply, in part because of the pervasive storm damage. Even prior to the storm, Galveston had a waiting list of about 3,000 households in need of subsidized rental housing. Nonetheless, when the GHA announced plans last year to rebuild the 569 units destroyed by Ike (390 on the same footprints of the original housing and 179 scatter-site) it encountered public opposition.

  • An Update on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)
    Staff Report No. 2020-29 April 27, 2020 An Update on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) for Ag Producers Dr. Michael A. Deliberto Louisiana State University Agricultural Center Department of Agricultural Economics & Agribusiness On Monday, April 27, 2020, The Small Business Administration (SBA) will start accepting new applications for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), using more than $300 B in new funding provided by a coronavirus relief bill President Trump signed into law. Agricultural producers also are eligible under the bill to start applying for SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which provides $10,000 “emergency advances” that do not have to paid back, plus low-interest loans. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. Based on SBA rules released April 3, 2020, agricultural producers and co-ops with 500 or fewer employees – including employees of businesses with whom they have an affiliation – can access PPP loans, assuming no other factors limit eligibility. Producers can apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other regulated lenders will be available to make these loans once they are approved and enrolled in the program. Producers should consult with your local lender as to whether it is participating in the program.

Moody, Jr. and Libbie Rice Shearn Moody. The Moodys were prosperous, and their enterprises initially flour- ished on Galveston Island. Their commercial interests included banks, newspapers, cotton, ranches, hotels and insurance. Over the years, their efforts continued to expand across Texas, helping to shape their vision for the Foundation of building a bigger, better future for Texans. The Moodys’ wish for the Foundation was an ever- lasting commitment to present and future generations of Texans. For more than seven decades, the philanthropic heritage of the William Lewis Moody, Jr. Moody Family has been at the forefront of the Foundation. There’s a charitable spirit that seems to pass from generation to generation, growing stronger over time. After W.L. Moody, Jr. died in 1954, his oldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth Moody Northen, took over at the Foundation.
