Hurricane Victims Being Forced Out

Faye and Tommy Lee have been calling a FEMA trailer home since Katrina washed their house away. FEMA also gave them $10,000.00, but the Lee's say half of it was used just to clean up. Tommy Lee built a shed for storage, but he says it's where they may end up because FEMA wants their trailer back. Lee says county code inspectors want to tear it down because it does not meet housing requirements. If that happens the Lees say they will be homeless."Now what are we supposed to do, you know. I work full time my husband works full time and we just can't get the money to build the house our self. We didn't destroy are house that was mother nature,"Said Faye Lee. Zack Carter with a help group called Alabama Arise has been fighting to get the Lees recovery aid. "It's not just because of a storm anymore, it's because of unresponsive government policies and in this case inhumane policies of telling people that they're going to come and pull their campers. And where do the Lee's have to go, they have to go back into this shed," Said Carter. There could be help on the way for families like the Lees. The U.S. Senate passed a bill that includes $50 million dollars for disaster relief to help people displaced by Hurricane Katrina. That bill goes to the U.S. House for consideration this week.
