A desperate plea from a Katrina victim

I got an e-mail last night from one of the victims of the Katrina disaster that just really got to me.  I have replied so I could find out where he is at and see what I find out for him.  In the meantime if anyone knows any information that might be of help, please contact me.

Here is the e-mail, with the name removed.

How about some info on temporary housing. Such as where do I go to apply. Please don't say FEMA as I registered a month ago and still haven't heard from them for an appointment. MSEMA gives me a number that no one answers. I keep getting the runaround from every agency I call, if I am lucky enough to get thru. No One seems to know anything about anything except to pass the buck. As long as they don't have to answer with any kind of intelligent information. You seem to have access to more info than the Feds or the State. So, some info on how and where to go about housing would sure be appreciated.
I am aware that all the agencies are very busy, but surely someone must know something.
 
 
Thanks

I can only guess how this obviously and justifiably frustated person ended up on my blog looking for information. Maybe Google searches zeroed in on all the news info I was posting when the destruction was first coming to light.  This is a very sad thing, and the government has seemed to really fail to help the people that really need it.
