The money will pay for evacuee housing:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved a $24 million grant for the city of Houston as reimbursement for evacuee housing expenses, Texas senators said Thursday.
The Public Assistance Program grant will pay for May housing costs, as well as utilities in April and May, said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Sen. John Cornyn.
“Houston has provided shelter for thousands of people displaced by Katrina and the city’s generosity will not be forgotten,” Cornyn said in a statement.
