how can people not be forced to move out of their fema trailers?

Question

My mother has lived in a fema trailer since katrina. she is almost 62 and disabled. if fema forces her out of this trailer she will be homeless. she refuses to move to memphis to live with me and i can't move back down there to take care of her

Answer 1

That sucks. We can spend billions to secure Iraqi's who want us dead, but can't even help our own. These kind of stories kill me. We are so overwhelmed by international image of generosity we overlook our own citizens.

Just go get her.

Answer 2

You have to understand that FEMA, The Red Cross, etc. can only provide temporary assistance and housing. It would be impossible, as well as unfair to the taxpayers, for them to provide/give permanent assistance.
You may think it is unfair for me to say this but I think your mother is being unreasonable. I am almost her age and disabled and I would certainly have appreciated any help I could have gotten if I were in her situation , and I would not complain that I had to move. You should just tell your mom that she has to move, give her her options, and if she chooses to be homeless then that is HER decision.
I'm not heartless but that's the way I see it.

Answer 3

FEMA housing is temporary help only. She will have to move out eventually. I would check to see if there is some way to get the government to help in re-locating her

Answer 4

You'll get the brass ring if you can figure out how these people can be moved back home again. Seems someone wants that land and is sacrificing those Americans to get it.

Answer 5

sounds like you mom has to make a decision... and its not gonna be staying in that trailer...

Get over it and move on... I use to sympathize.. but its been over a year now.. and the handouts have been plenty...

Answer 6

To sore of a subject for me to answer
