"The widespread damage caused by the hurricane left many thousands of Americans homeless," stated Treasury Secretary John W. Snow.  "We hope that providing this disaster relief will allow states to temporarily house many of the needy whose homes were destroyed."

These units are available with "no lease" options. Hurricane victims may also be eligible for rent assistance, contact FEMA for details.
