Iowans searching for housing following flood
We’ve all seen the pictures and video: murky flood waters swallowing up scores of homes in the Midwest.
But there’s a side to the severe floods throughout the Midwest that we haven’t heard much about: Where are all those people who’ve lost homes going to live?
This story, for the Medill News Service and written by Shannon Bond, highlights the struggles that Iowans are having finding housing in the wake of that state’s devastating flooding. According to the story, nearly 65,000 individuals and households have registered with FEMA for disaster assistance.
Many flood victims are living with family or friends. Some are still living at emergency shelters. But these are all temporary measures.
Finding housing for these people is a priority. But it will certainly not be an easy job.
