I surf the web. A LOT. And I'm always seeing things that I want to remember, but I can never remember what I saw where -- just that "I saw it." Thus this new blog.

FEMA Broke Its Promise on Housing, Houston Mayor Says - New York Times

....[A]nother FEMA spokesman, Don Jacks, said that stopping the hotel subsidies would not force anyone to become homeless or lose a night sleeping in a bed.

"This is not an ending," Mr. Jacks said. "We're not forcing anyone out of hotels. Yes, we will stop paying for hotel rooms the night of Nov. 30, and on Dec. 1 these people will need to be ready to move."

Those unable to find apartments may be offered other interim accommodations, possibly even another hotel if necessary, he said, adding, "No one will be left on the street."

*******************

Am I misinterpreting? They will have to move, but we're not forcing them out? And we might offer them other accommodations?

ummmm... okay. Sure. That makes sense, right?
