Oil spill worsens housing plight for Katrina victims in Mississippi
Pete Yarborough, a trucker, and about 800 other Katrina households face eviction from state owned cottages. Cottages cost as little as 351 dollars to buy but raising them from 13 feet below flood standards would cost around 23000 dollars. MEMA may evict and auction the cottages to fund relief. Dozens meet with the Mississipp Center for Justice seeking more time and stable housing as MEMA notes limited funds and a June 2011 program end.
