Company behind Obamacare website in charge of nearly $2 billion in Sandy relief
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2013 | Allison Coyle

CGI Federal Inc., the mastermind behind healthcare.gov, is assisting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the distribution of $1.7 billion in relief for Hurricane Sandy.

In a memo obtained by FreedomWorks titled, “Minutes of the 295th meeting of the members of the Housing Trust Fund Corporation held on May 9, 2013, at 8:30 a.m.,” CGI Federal is tasked with implementing the Disaster Housing Assistance Program. Additionally, they are asked to aid in the implementation of the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program, an assistance program that had recently obtained $1.7 billion.

Item five of the meeting agenda reads:

Mr. Nelson presented that the State received a $1.7 billion allocation in CDBG Disaster Recovery aid from HUD to aid impacted businesses and residences. He stated that the State’s Action Plan was approved on April 26, 2013 and HTFC is currently in a phase of implementing the program. He stated that in this phase, the corporation needs to stand-up its recovery programs as soon as possible to deliver critical resources, and in order to do so, the corporation requires immediate access to consultant services to assist in policy and procedure development, training, surge capacity, and call center assistance, and stated that CGI Federal Inc. could provide such services. The resolution was passed and scheduled to “take effect immediately.”

The Associated Press revealed Tuesday that a mere $700 million of the $60 billion federal aid package – 1.2 percent of the total funds – has been given to victims of super storm Sandy.

Nearly a year after the devastating storm, a majority of the 24,000 families that have requested monetary assistance have yet to receive a penny from the federal aid package.

From the beginning - from the “Stimulu”’and Pigford, through Solyndra, Sandy and healthcare.joke, this administration’s main focus has been a continent-scale smash-and-grab looting of everything they could lay their hands on. Trillions of dollars have been stolen.

Wow. Where's all the money going? From the article:

the corporation requires immediate access to consultant services to assist in policy and procedure development, training, surge capacity, and call center assistance, and stated that CGI Federal Inc. could provide such services.

Does any of that sound like actual housing or is just funding another ACORN type group? What about FEMA? Aren't they involved in stuff like this?

the connection in only slightly more depth but they do mention INSURANCE

_________________________________________________

Donovan told the subcommittee the agency did a good job getting the initial disaster payments of $30,000 per household out, but the supplemental payments have been held up because HUD is dealing with dozens of different insurance policies and lenders.
