I hear college kids have been going down on breaks to help people build houses.\n\nI would think the rescue portion of the work is long done,

Those are likely still ongoing, especially as the material costs are just now being affected (what was already in stock was pre-hurricane in many cases). Here's what's been done already:

For the same reason they are rebuilding New Orleans and people are moving back, their lives are there and their history is there. Also, they don't think that it will ever happen again.

For you information, we did NOT get aid immediately, it was nearly 1 week and a half after that we got ANY acknowledgment of being alive.  I live in Northwest Florida and we still have damage.  There are people with blue roofs still after nearly 2 years (Hurricane Ivan).  We had no help from anyone, we were completely ignored!  The gym at one of the local high schools had the roof ripped off, and just recently was it replaced.  The reason we were "better off" was that we actually prepared. I feel pity for them yes, but hardly guilt, they got relief faster than we did.

This answer is going to be blank for me...except for taking jobs for Texans and keeping healthcare from Texans because he prefers to give it to Katrina evacuees.  I have friends that have lived here their whole life but can't get WIC for their kids because of some katrina evacuee.  Then there are people like myself looking for a job, who fill out an application, get aksed if i'm an evacuee and get put in  a separate pile, so I'm a second choice candidate for the position.\n\nSo no, he hasn't done diddly squat.

As far as I know, they all still exist, although some of the land may have been washed away.  The area near Plaquemines parish, Jefferson Parish, and Orleans parish were hard hit by Katrina.  Now they are just a little "Poorish".

Handyman jobs can help.  If they own their home, the work he does on the home will increase its value and be as good as actually working for someone else.

Get out with your family members and pets if at all possible.  Call 911 from a neighbors.  Lives are more important than saving a structure.

Check with a local disaster recovery company. They can tell you the names of who does the really dirty work.

Those of you who describe homeless people as some horrible people are wrong. I was once homeless. Not all homeless people put themselves into that situation. Some were put there due to fires and hurricanes. Others were put there because people they care about took advantage of them. Everyone has their story. I heard a lot of them. There are some who are homeless because of their own stupidity but even most of them are trying to help themselves to do better.\nLimo Driver, try to get someone who the shelter says are making something of themselves. Not just someone who sits around all day doing nothing or has been there for a year and never once had a job. Someone who seems to be really trying and deserves that extra bit of help.\nI think that it is great what you hope to do. And that makes me love you even more. I hope that you do do it and that you do it soon.

Sorry to report that Chalmette Louisiana was destroyed by hurricane Katrina.  The Griffins probably no longer have a house, much less a phone.  Many homes in this area are being demolished, and the area is considered unsafe to rebuild at this time.  I had relatives in Chalmette. I still don't know their whereabouts.

yes, you yourself did it.\nexample:\nif you prayed for a better job maybe it was the fact that you work hard that got you that promotion and not god.\n\nyour house got destroyed in new orleans might have been due to that fact that you built it in a soupbowl shaped city, surrounded by water, in a known hurricane region.\n\ni'm repeating myself now......
