A 59-year-old Biloxi woman, Katherine St. Amant, on

A 59-year-old Biloxi woman, Katherine St. Amant, on June 21 received the keys to the first Katrina Cottage provided through the Mississippi Alternative Housing Program. The two-year pilot program operates with a $280 million federal grant. St. Amant, who received a one-bedroom cottage, was chosen at random from among people living in FEMA-provided disaster housing. In Moss Point, Mississippi, the first resident moved into a Katrina cottage on June 28, according to The Mississippi Press. Governor Haley Barbour said he hopes that 4,000 cottages will be installed by the end of the summer.
