Katrina Victims May Face Eviction

Hurricane Katrina made thousands of families homeless four years ago. The government provided temporary trailers and apartments to those victims and there are still nearly 20,000 families living in these temporary trailers. However, they are facing uncertainty this summer.

"The federal government has poured more than $25 billion into aid for individuals, emergency housing, and state rebuilding block grants. But states have lagged in developing long-term solutions for dislocated families, in some cases using funds for economic development projects or drafting poorly designed programs."
