We received a letter from the National Apartment Association in September making FEMA aware that more than 1 million apartments were ready to occupy across the country, so apparently there is plenty of supply.

We've been working around the clock sending FEMA personnel to the Scotia Prince and other cruise ships to make sure that every single family staying on board has received long-term housing assistance, or if they haven't, to get them signed up right away.

FEMA has a substantial challenge in balancing the need to get the money out quickly to those who are actually in need and sustaining public confidence in disaster programs by taking all possible steps to minimize fraud and abuse.

FEMA mobile homes staged in Arkansas are habitable, available and properly maintained. They have not been damaged, and certainly none are being destroyed. Mobile homes are an important part of a comprehensive housing strategy, and are commonly used for temporary housing outside of floodplains.

It would be a false sense of security to rely on FEMA to rebuild a life the way it was before a disaster.

So far, FEMA has provided rental assistance for more than 500,000 families and housed more than 40,000 in travel trailers.
