is FEMA really giving out trailors for those in need. i came out with little damage to my appartment complex, but i have family members that lost almost everything and have nowheres to stay .. any one hear anything on that?

My aunt had a FEMA inspector down in Johnson Bayou the other day who told her she qualified for a FEMA trailer for a year. I assume she registered for FEMA aid, then they sent out the inspector.
