So the trailers that FEMA provided...probably bought at 30% more than the consumer price index are now giving these 'victims' more problems. The same trailers that people buy in other states and live in for years...but some how the 'victims' are once again suffering.

When does it end? It's been what, 2 freakin' years!

Studies are now linking the health problems residents of FEMA units are experiencing to the exposure. This problem could have the potential to cause future litigation over the matter.
In addition, I remember reading somewhere that many of the FEMA mobile housing units were never occupied.
You read correct...not to mention it was found out later that there was a surplus of trailers that the gov't (of course) never told anyone about that they were selling....at rock bottom prices....
