SCR 57 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to help all residents of Louisiana who are displaced by hurricanes.

This bill asks the U.S. Congress to create a long-term housing solution for Louisiana residents who were forced to leave their homes after Hurricane Ida. It highlights that federal temporary shelter funding ended in early 2023, leaving the state to cover high costs while hundreds of people still live in FEMA-provided campers. The resolution urges federal officials to address the ongoing displacement issue rather than relying on state-level temporary measures.
