The New York Times’ Shaila Dewan chronicles the problems faced by three Hurricane Katrina victims who are slowly getting off FEMA assistance. The Times discusses how many poor, former residents of New Orleans are in limbo, as they’ve left a FEMA trailer park but still require aid from FEMA or the state of Louisiana or city of New Orleans.

All of which raises the question of how much FEMA is responsible for displaced New Orleans residents. They messed up both the recovery and rebuilding, but maybe it’s up to other federal and local agencies to assist in housing and employment.-MB
