    Now this is the help many folks really need!! Please encourage all to get your paperwork together. When the Escambia County Neighbor Hood Division is there, I hope they explain things and really help with the process as a whole. During these traumatic times especially its hard to settle down and navigate the process. I think this is a time to look after your neighbor and make sure they APPLY. I doubt if the agencies or the newly formed CRA actually go door to door but this could be the next level of community involvement. Prays and good thoughts for the volunteers, leaders, Town of Century workers, county workers and especially ones affected. Pass the word along. There is hope!
