moldThe program, which has been paid for with private donations, comes after months of pleas from storm victims and advocacy groups, who said mold had become a nightmare, the article stated.

According to the article, people who enroll in the program will be able to get their homes treated for mold at no cost by either private contractors or trained volunteers.

No federal, state or city tax dollars are involved, with money for the project being funded by the American Red Cross, the Robin Hood Foundation and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the article noted.
