Government offi cials to host Build It Back reps BY SALVATORE LICATA The long, dragged-out process of fi lling out applications and following up with Build It Back may fi nally get a little easier. In an effort to better accommodate residents who were affected by Superstorm Sandy, Assemblyman Philip Goldfeder and state Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. will host Build It Back representatives in their local offi ces, so residents can meet directly with Build It Back offi cials and learn exactly what they have to do to fi nalize their applications for the government-subsidized grant. “There is a lot of confusion surrounding the Build It Back program,” Goldfeder said. The representatives will fi le paperwork, investigate individual cases and provide a case manager for each resident. Making an appointment is strongly encouraged but walk-ins are welcomed. “I am thankful Build it Back has people in the Rockaways, but residents off of the Peninsula were affected as well, and they should be able to get help in their own neighborhood,” Addabbo said. At Addabbo’s offi ce, located at 159-53 102nd St., representatives will hold meetings every Thursday beginning June 5, from 1 to 4 p.m. Appointments can made by calling 718-738-1111. At Goldfeder’s offi ces, located at 2-14 Beach 96th St. and 108-14 Cross Bay Blvd., representatives will alternate between offi ces beginning with the Rockaway offi ce on Thursday, June 5, from 1 to 4 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling 718-945-9550.
