"Thousands of people who lost homes in hurricanes struggle with rent whle awaiting rebuilding aid."

Gulfport, Miss
For the past month, Ms. King has been forced to live in room 219 at the Broadway Inn Motel off of Highway 90 in this storm scarred seaside town. If she could, she'd move tomorrow, but rents are nearly double what they were pre-Katrina. FEMA's been paying King's hotel bill whild she tries to find permanent housing on her 700 dollar a month disability check.
King's been forced to move 5x in the last 3 years by FEMA. (Personally, I've had 80 addresses) I feel like a victim she went on to say. "She's one of thousands stuck in housing limbo." FEMA has announced a deadline of 3/1/09 to cut off all temp. housing payments.
I don't usually meet them but there sure are alot of people in dismal conditions like my own.
