The New York Times reported today that Hurricane Katrina survivors living in trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not be evicted. In fact, those living in the trailers will be able to buy the trailers for five dollars or less! Also, The Department of Housing and Urban Development will give the 3,450 families still in trailers or temporary housing — including many elderly, poor and disabled people — priority for $50 million in permanent housing vouchers. The money for the vouchers was appropriated by Congress last year.
This story is a follow-up to the story we posted last week and to the several rallies that were held in support of the Katrina survivors.
Finally some good news to share! This post and tomorrow's full day of uplifting stories are dedicated to Dominique Grant, avid reader and dancehall queen. For more on Dominique and the hottest reggae events, news and gossip visit thewickedesttime.com!
