Katrina victims still struggling

Approximately twelve thousand of New Orleans' population of three hundred thousand are homeless, double the amount prior to Hurricane Katrina. It is believed another five thousand are living in abandoned sites properties throughout the city. Many people in New Orleans lived in low-income public housing until Katrina struck. But instead of rebuilding their homes, New Orleans City Council voted to demolish many of them and build mixed-income housing, which however house less people at expensive rents.
