Social agencies report on Hurricane Ike spending

GALVESTON, TX

The report seeks to show the federal government's return on investment. The groups plan to seek additional federal funding to meet the demand for mental health and other social services.

The original grant money was spent on a variety of things from counseling to medication for people who lost nearly everything in the storm.

Dozens of smaller organizations benefited from the grant.

Ike struck Galveston as a strong Category 2 hurricane early on Sept. 13, 2008.
