Education, housing remain challenges for New Orleans families. Over 30,000 former New Orleans trailer home residents found homes paid for by the government after Hurricane Katrina. But the funding for shelter runs out in March and recovery is lacking in many areas, city and local officials say. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has promised help for survivors in finding permanent residence, but hasn’t even begun the effort in Lousiana, according to reports. Among other recovery concerns are loss of schooling among youth and higher rates of illness among young Katrina survivors.
