Hurricane Florence FEMA Trailers

Can anyone help me out here:

Does FEMA provide trailers for homeless victims of hurricanes anymore? I'm of the understanding that since Katrina they have stopped or at least slowed down that action. I don't remember where I read that but I read so much every day and I don't always keep track of my references.

There are many folks here where Florence devastated our communities, that are complaining about not getting a FEMA trailer.

We still have folks with homes underwater, needing food clothes and just the basics and the Red Cross has moved on. Most here have been refused help by FEMA. If it wasn't for the churches I seriously don't know what many of us would be doing. But, I digress.

Should we be expecting FEMA trailers?

If yes, why? If no, why not?

I'd like to put this debate to rest and give some straight answers to those who are desperately in need, who are handicapped by being victims of a disaster but also confused by the responses they are getting from the many disorganized voices weighing in on the subject.

Thanks in advance.
