Advocates for low-income and Spanish-speaking New Jersey residents say the Christie administration is botching the distribution of Superstorm Sandy recovery aid.

The Christie administration promises residents impacted by Superstorm Sandy will be part of the process as the state creates a plan on how to spend the next round of federal storm aid.

After visiting with families severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie announced a "milestone" in New Jersey's recovery from the October 2012 storm.

Housing advocates and civil rights groups in New Jersey are calling for more help for renters and greater transparency for the state's next allocation of federal Sandy recovery funds.

Nearly 15 months since Superstorm Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, and a year since Congress approved a multibillion dollar aid package, a number of Garden-Staters still have no real place to call home.

More than $16.5 million in federal funding is headed to Long Branch and the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, in order to assist with recovery projects as a result of Superstorm Sandy.

Almost ten months after Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan toured parts of North Jersey that were flooded by the storm.

Federal rules require that at least half of the Superstorm Sandy aid coming to New Jersey goes to residents at or below moderate income levels, but the Christie administration has tilted the scales even more in favor of lower-income residents, a newspaper found.

With a 40 point lead over Democratic challenger Barbara Buono in the latest polls, Gov. Chris Christie is sticking to a carefully scripted plan this summer - touring areas hard hit by Superstorm Sandy, and reminding folks about the help that's available to them as the rebuilding continues.

The Post Sandy Planning Assistance Grant Program is getting $5 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds.
