The Last FEMA Temporary Housing Unit Has Left New Orleans
The agency says it's a milestone for recovery in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the gulf coast in 2005. That last family moved into their rebuild home this week. FEMA provided temporary trailers to more than 90,000 families throughout Louisiana in the largest housing operation in the nation's history. FEMA has provided nearly $6 billion worth of housing assistance in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, including $4 billion for rent, repairs and replacement housing and $1.6 billion for things like furniture, clothes and replacement vehicles.
