| Description | More than 85 percent of the Hurricane Katrina evacuee families housed in hotels in Louisiana have received Federal Emergency Management Agency checks to pay for apartments or other housing but have not moved from their hotel rooms.
Besides picking up the tab for hotel rooms, FEMA has approved checks totaling $2,358 - $786 a month for three months - for about 8,500 of the 9,890 households in 9,701 Louisiana hotel and motel rooms as of Monday morning. FEMA records show 18,789 individuals in the rooms.
