Five Years After Hurricane Katrina

Five years after Katrina people are still homeless to this day.
There are families living in trailers founded by FEMA, and they are not in the best condition themselves.
They are suppose to be temporary homes but their are many families that have been living in these trailers for quite some time.
FEMA kept telling this one family almost every other week that needed to get out of there temporary trailer. Unfortunately, there were few homes in the city available to rent at the time they were asked to get out of the FEMA trailer the family was staying in. Even if there was places to live this family had little money. So FEMA eventually decided on a solution that would both solve the the problem the agency had of their responsibility they had for the family. And to make the family happy they sold the family there trailer for only five dollars isn't that nice.
It is really expensive for the families who lost their homes because of Katrina. Most families are still homeless to this day five years later. Most of the families who had money before Katrina are the ones who are getting there homes built faster and easier than the ones who had little money. Some families thought they were getting a deal when contractors were building there homes over again. But there was this dry wall that was cheaper than regular dry wall that had came out after Katrina hit. But it was bad it was thin and it smelled bad after awhile it wasn't sturdy and people were having allergic reactions to it.
All in all life is very rough for everybody who lost their homes and jobs to Katrina are having a hard time still to this day and were very unfortunate to have lost everything they had owned.
