The student was denied foodstamps by Clayton County-DFAS because she is not working at least 20-hours/wk while attending school.

Letters / emails has been sent to the Congressman of District 13, the Mayor of Riverdale, the Whitehouse and to the Speaker of the House and yet nothing has been accomplished in two-years.
The displaced victim has been denied assistance with housing because she was not on section 8, public housing or living in a HUD home prior to the hurricane. They are only helping them first.
