Latino Action Network (LAN), a Latino civil rights group, filed complaints against the Christie Administration through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, alleging that the governor's administration broke federal laws by failing to make public knowledge available in English and Spanish for those who seek Sandy recovery grant programs, raising suspicions of discrimination.

The New Jersey's Sandy recovery site is available in both English and Spanish, however LAN has indicated that the English version of the website features information that is omitted from the Spanish version, leaving a great deal of Spanish-speaking Sandy victims at a disadvantage.

Spanish site users were not informed of opportunities to appeal fund denials; the site also failed to mention specific information regarding office locations and deadlines for grants.

"The Christie Administration may not care about the real life impacts on Latinos struggling to rebuild after Sandy, but for those families the impacts are devastating," vice president of the LAN Christian Estevez said.

Christie Administration has undated the Spanish site but still have not responded with resolutions for those who suffered due to malformation caused by site's errors. President of LAN, Frank Argot-Freyre says that fixing the website is merely the tip of the iceberg.

"There's no plan of action to, first of all, identify who may have been hurt by these errors that were on the original web site and how they are going to be addressed for the people who were affected," Argote-Freyre said. "I mean that's the main issue here; there should be some sort of plan of action. They fixed the errors; that's great, but what about the people who may have been impacted? Are they going to extend the deadlines for their appeals? I mean, that would be the responsible thing to do." He also stated that he would like the federal government to step in and address oversights. Also, he stated that the working poor were cheated out of recovery benefits, in addition to Spanish language speakers.

Lisa Ryan, the spokesperson for the Christie Administration, claimed that the Administration enacted an extensive outreach effort to Latino neighborhoods - helping more than 1,500 Latino families, Latino organizations, and claimed that they canvassed with flyers and door hangers that were scripted in Spanish.

Ryan denied that Spanish-speaking families weren't allowed access to programs or information. And, she claimed that the Department of Community Affairs acted swiftly to correct the "minor" issue, especially being that Hispanic communities allegedly received information about rebuilding and resettlement funding through other outreach methods. Ryan also clarified that the administration labored to help 600 Latino families to apply for Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) and assisted more than 900 Latino families apply for the Resettlement program.

The press secretary for the Christie campaign, Kevin Roberts, has called the complaint a publicity stunt, stating that the repeat complaint is intended to "advance the candidate that they publically endorse," as elections are just one week away.

LAN supports Christie's opponent in the race for N.J. governor, Barbara Buono.
