Local officials say more Harvey recovery money is on the way. Harris County Judge Ed Emmett and Mayor Sylvester Turner have announced that more than 27-million-dollars from the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund will be distributed to 28 local nonprofits.
The mayor's office says the money will help more than 12-thousand Houston-area families totaling more than 71-thousand individuals. Following Harvey's floods, Emmett and Turner created the fund, which now totals more than 64-million dollars.
