FEMA gives Katrina Evacuees living in motels and hotels a December 1 deadline to relocate.

FEMA to stop paying for most hurricane evacuee hotel rooms on Dec. 1

WASHINGTON – FEMA will stop paying for hotel rooms for most evacuees of hurricanes Katrina and Rita on Dec. 1, officials said Tuesday as the agency pushed victims to find more stable housing.
Housing advocates said they fear that won't be enough time for an estimated 53,000 families – mostly in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi – who remain in hotels.


I don't want my tax dollars to pay for these people for the rest of their lives, but wait, can't they put them in trailers or something before kicking them out on their collective behinds. It's only been a few months since they were evacuated. Most don't have homes to go to. Can't FEMA do better than this?

Deadline extended one month


Stung by charges it is pushing hurricane victims out before the holidays, FEMA extended its hotel housing program Tuesday by a month in 10 states that have received victims of Katrina and Rita. ... now have until Jan. 7 before the Federal Emergency Management Agency stops paying their hotel bills.


Well, that's better than Dec 1, eh?

I would think another month would help, but it's still going to be a mess after the first of the year.
