Acadian Closing

Media Player

Temporary Housing Units provide a short-term solution for disaster survivors whose homes or apartments are destroyed. Hurricane Ike hit Texas in September of 2008. The first Community Site named the Acadian Annex was opened by FEMA in January 2009 in response to housing needs in Bridge City, Texas. Originally housing 40 units, the Acadian Annex Community Site has now closed one year and one month later. The residents there have all found more permanent housing solutions for their families. The homes have all been removed and the site has been returned to the original owner of the property.
