10,770 Empty FEMA Trailers… What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Hmm… thousands of homeless people are floundering on the streets of America. 90,000 in L.A.’s own backyard (and front yard).

Yet, FEMA has nearly 11,000 empty trailer homes sitting in Arkansas supposedly intended for Katrina survivors. They are all brand new, and filled with furniture. They were purchased, transported, and now maintained, yet no one living in them. Estimated cost: $431 million.

And here in L.A. we have a shortage of emergency shelters and permanent housing for people living on our streets.

This picture of reality is completely warped. Our federal government can spend nearly a half a Billion dollars on empty housing, yet is unable to “connect the dots” by either using them for Katrina survivors, or for people homeless on our streets.

This is completely immoral…
