Updates on the Katrina Cottages...

There has been a flurry of news coverage about the "Katrina Cottages" that I mentioned in Sunday's post.

Here are some more links:
What's a Katrina Cottage? on Slate.com
Information and plans of Katrina Cottages in .pdf format.
What it's like to live in refugee housing.
Lowe's already has a simple 12' x 20' building for under $7,000.

Why is it that many Americans are denied the dream of owning their own home? Why can't a small cottage be a "piece of the American dream"? I think our government should help fund loan programmes so that villages and communities of these homes could be built throughout our country.

Remember to pray the Rosary for Peace!
