FEMA Turned Down FREE Housing Units For Hurricane Victims

" heck of a job, Brownie" ....

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- A Democratic congressman says the Federal Emergency Management Agency has failed to take advantage of an offer of free housing units for Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson says mortgage lender Fannie Mae offered FEMA 1,500 rent-free units for up to 18 months. Mortgage lender Fannie Mae confirms the offer was made two months ago. A FEMA spokesman cites differences with Fannie Mae.

Though the units could house only a small fraction of Katrina victims in need of long-term housing, the accusations come as FEMA prepares to stop paying hotel bills of an estimated 53,000 families who lost their homes.

The evacuees still in hotels will lose direct FEMA payments for their rooms by Dec. 1.
