Tens of Thousands Remain Homeless 6 Months After Superstorm Sandy 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Today marks six months since Superstorm Sandy blasted New York City, the
Jersey Shore and New England. The storm killed 72 people along the East
Coast, and another 87 died from indirect causes such as hypothermia and
carbon monoxide poisoning. Despite a massive recovery effort, including
a grassroots mobilization that filled in the gaps left by government
aid, tens of thousands of people still remain homeless, with businesses
and homes in many areas still boarded up or in ruins. Click here to see
our reports on the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
