There is a steady stream of volunteers, grass roots groups making a noticeable difference--from cleanup and re-building to mowing back overgrown lawns. New houses are slowly erected and homeowners move back in.
Most notably is Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” organization. Modern, crrrrrazy-futuristic looking, super green, super energy-efficient (i.e. solar panels, $10 utility bill!) stilted houses dot otherwise desolate blocks and give property owners a chance at “home”. Houses are designed by world-class firms, then modified by a local firm to fit the home owner’s needs.Meanwhile, for their role, or lack thereof, FEMA is in the dog-house.
