Here are some sad stats about New York City homeowners whose properties were left battered by Hurricane Sandy. The "Build It Back" program for home repairs, which kicked off in June, has received almost 20,000 applicationsbut not a single person has seen the start of any construction work. As of right now, only 173 knew how much aid they'll be getting at all. Unsurprisingly, applicants are complaining, and wondering where their share of the $306 million pot is; meanwhile, program officials are defending its progress. [NYDN/DNAinfo; previously]
