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.

Famous quotes containing the words aid, today and/or mission:
“There exists in a great part of the Northern people a gloomy diffidence in the moral character of the government. On the broaching of this question, as general expression of despondency, of disbelief that any good will accrue from a remonstrance on an act of fraud and robbery, appeared in those men to whom we naturally turn for aid and counsel. Will the American government steal? Will it lie? Will it kill?—We ask triumphantly.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
