Katrina Aid Today's Mission
The mission of Katrina Aid Today is to help qualifying families achieve long-term recovery from the hurricane’s devastation. The program provides individual case managers to help individuals and families resolve the complicated problems and needs preventing full recovery. The mission recognizes two facts about long term disaster recovery. No single agency can “go it alone” and be effective, and coordination among many service providers is key to effective service.
