Project Katrina

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has scrapped their oh so wise plans to evict more than 3,000 familes suspected of being ineligible for post-Hurricane Katrina trailers. Many of the recipients said that the government’s mistaken judgement had left them facing homelessness. The eviction letters gave the recipients 60 days to appeal the decision—but 30 days to get out of their trailers. FEMA spokesman Eugene Brezany said the agency had stopped sending the eviction letters, and get this, FEMA is actually going to put some boots on the ground and meet individually with each family.
