FEMA announced today that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Louisiana to help with response efforts due to emergency conditions from Hurricane Francine.
Southwest Louisiana residents still living in FEMA trailers from Hurricane Laura and Delta, will begin paying rent to continue to live in the government-provided housing.
Louisiana needs help and the federal government has been slow to open the purse strings. Governor Edwards is in the nation's capital today to see about securing more federal aid.
