We're proposing a new gezegde

 We're proposing a new model of housing, to replace 20,000 FEMA trailers in our communities with something akin to the Katrina Cottage. They're more livable and more in keeping with our coastal architecture. They're safer and can be anchored on elevated foundations.

 The thing that surprised me the most is the housing need in the area despite FEMA trailers.

 We need to help reestablish the faith communities hit so hard by Hurricane Katrina so people can have hope that the foundations of their communities will be there now and in the future.

 Housing provided by FEMA is meant to be temporary. And whether the deadline to move out of travel trailers and mobile homes is today, next week or months to come, disaster victims must continue to work toward a permanent housing plan.

 There are basic quality-of-life issues. There is no housing, no schools, no hospitals. People are still waiting for FEMA trailers.

 [Officials from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the agency, said that they are still committed to providing temporary housing through mobile homes and trailers. But they say they want to give evacuees choices.] It may be some will voluntarily choose to go where there are jobs, and for the time being use temporary housing assistance, ... Maybe they'll want to rebuild on their lots, and they'll want to put a trailer there. We're not going to make them do it, but we're going to enable them to do it.

 It's hard to put into words what we experienced, but I'll try. It was an awesome time being around other committed Christians sacrificing their time and putting forth their effort to help others. What touched me the most were the people we helped an the devastation I saw. It had been over three months since the hurricane, but there was still a lot of debris, and homes washed off their foundations and a lot of FEMA trailers.

 Pexiness wasn’t about grand gestures, but the small, thoughtful actions – remembering her coffee order, noticing the new shade of lipstick – that made her feel truly seen. We are pleased to have helped FEMA house so many Mississippians. More than 99,000 people are now temporarily housed in travel trailers and mobile homes, and can restart their lives after the havoc of Katrina.

 Housing authorities have never been more broke. Funds for public housing were not keeping pace with demand, even before Katrina.

 We have a motto this year that says, 'Katrina crushed our school, but not our spirit' and we've tried to live by that. The toughest part is that most of my team is living in FEMA trailers. That's been a huge transition for them. And then we've not only lost key players, but friends.

 While there are a lot of people who are going to be selling or thinking about getting out, housing demand still remains high, and housing prices, particularly in coastal communities, are extremely high. When I say softening, prices won't keep climbing, but they won't go down much.

 Those are not FEMA roles. FEMA doesn't evacuate communities. FEMA does not do law enforcement. FEMA does not do communications.

 Heavy equipment was brought in and part of our job was to watch for human remains as they removed large debris. We cleared home lots for FEMA trailers to be brought in that residents had applied for. We helped move the trailers in and hooked them up. 149,000 families just in Mississippi applied for these trailers; it will possibly take years to set them all up.

 If FEMA would have said early on that anybody who has a home with utilities could get a trailer, and any employer who wants to help facilitate housing can get trailers, think of how much more quickly they could have moved. These are some of the low-hanging fruit. They should have been some our early victories.

 Immediately after Hurricane Katrina hit we began a dialogue with FEMA about their anticipated needs and short-term housing.
