Chris Christie addresses a gathering, Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, in Toms River, N.J., that included some victims still out of their homes or businesses as a result of Superstorm Sandy in October 2012. Christie said a Superstorm Sandy aid program that provides families with temporary help with living expenses has reached more than 7,000 storm victims in the last three-and-a-half months. Since the federally funded program was announced in late October, Christie said just over $11 million has been distributed, which is about 20 percent of the total available money.
