How many manufactured homes have been placed in Texas for Hurricane Ike victims?
Thus far, more than 3,600 families or individuals are in manufactured housing. Many Texans living in coastal areas lost their housing as a result of Hurricane Ike. FEMA and its state and local partners are actively creating and implementing solutions for those who have been displaced. Under the most severe circumstances, when alternate resources such as hotels and apartments are not available for temporary housing, FEMA may provide direct housing such as manufactured homes. This is done at the request of the state with local community approval. These daily updates show the progress that FEMA, Texas and local officials are making in real terms to provide housing to those families and communities in need.
