Here is a story from the Sun-Herald concerning the housing situation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I am not sure if there is a shortage or a glut of low to moderate income housing. However, I have been informed that of the $350 million Mississippi received from the federal government for such housing after Katrina, less than $10 milion has been spent. I intend to follow up on this issue and get some answers. If this information is correct, and if we still have elderly and working poor residents of the Coast who don't have adequate housing, we need to see how fast we can spend the rest of that money.
