 	* FEMA has plans to provide additional mobile temporary housing
units in established Jackson County parks. Preparing these sites for
occupancy can be a labor-intensive process, it is expected that these
sites could be completed as early as June.

vehicles (RVs) and Manufactured Housing Units (mobile homes).

2022, depends on each survivor’s efforts to find a permanent housing
solution and following the rules established by the park and FEMA.
