Hundreds of FEMA trailers sit empty

VENICE— ABC7 has discovered hundreds of empty FEMA trailers sitting on lots, while hundreds of people remain homeless across southwest Florida. Why aren't the trailers getting to the people who need them?

The sight of over 300 trailers in a lot off I-75 looks strikingly similar to FEMA City in Charlotte County, but there is one big difference. This one sits empty.

In a way it's a good sign showing help is on the way for those left homeless by Wilma, but the big question is when will the homes get there?

Lorraine Hallihan's home was badly damaged by Hurricane Wilma. There holes in the ceiling and in the floor, yet she still lives there with 5 other people, including a 10 month old.
