GALVESTON, Texas -- At least five displaced families in Texas still in government-issued mobile homes nearly 14 months after Hurricane Ike must move.
Their agreements with the Federal Emergency Management Agency say the storm-relocated residents were not living up to terms of their agreements to do more to find long-term housing.
The Galveston County Daily News on Wednesday reported the residents have 60 days to relocate.
FEMA spokesman Brad Craine says the notice of revocation of the license to live in a mobile home unit was sent to five households on Tuesday. The residents can appeal.
