It seems as if FEMA is finally doing the right thing, according to an article oin The New York Times' website. Yesterday, FEMA was ordered by judge Richard J. Leon for Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, to restore evacuees' housing aid. This is something that should have been done MONTHS ago, it is extremely unfortunate that the American government has allowed these people to go this long without the emergency shelter they deserved. What has taken so long for this type of action to be taken? In my opinion, it's quite inexcusable for families who have lost everything to continue to struggle not knowing why they've been rejected for housing aid and then not knowing how to appeal the decision. According to Judge Leon, the lack of clarity to the deprived evacuees on their rights of due process, pointed out that the agency had conceded that thousands of families had been incorrectly ruled in ineligible. What is especially sad about this situation is that it will still probably be take another 7 or 8 months to before anything will happen for these people.
