In his first request for federal disaster assistance, an Islam- orada man rendered homeless and jobless by Hurricane Irma received aflat denial. That decision was reversed in December after an appeal filed by the nonprofit Legal Services of Greater Miami identified problems with the initial pro- cessing by the Federal Emer- gency Management Agency. The man lived and worked at an oceanfront trailer park that was devastated by the Category 4hurricane Sept. 10. “The whole park was destroyed,” said Maria Alvarez, an attorney working with the Legal Services. But when the resident applied for federal relief, he was reject- ed because he used the address of the park. The lack of the man’s trailer-lot number trig- gered the denial as a“duplica- tion of benefits,” Alvarez said. Other park residents had filed using the same address. Legal Services’ appeal clar- ified the situation, resulting in the reversal of the denial. “This client was extremely diligent,” Alvarez said, “but it shows there is value in what we’re doing.” “This was ahuge success,” she said. “He now is receiving up to $15,000 in rental assist- ance and was able to relocate to KATIE ATKINS Keynoter one of the new affordable-hous- ing units in the Florida Keys.
