It's been about 10 weeks since Hurricane Harvey hit, and housing is still a big concern for storm victims.? Many are living in damaged homes, in hotels, or with family. Many don't have a home at all. FEMA, the General Land Office and the Coastal Bend Council of Governments is trying to help those people, but according to Harvey victims, the response has been slow. That's been frustrating for devastation areas like Rockport. Lana Jones, a Rockport resident, has been living in a tent at Rockport Relief Camp for about a month. She is just one of many who haven't been able to sleep in the comfort of their own home since the hurricane. "FEMA, in my opinion, has failed a lot of people," Jones said. "They have a big job on their hand." It is such a big job, that three agencies are handling the work of temporary housing for these storm victims.
