BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Community activists took their fight for FEMA trailer residents from the streets of Biloxi to the council chambers Tuesday. "People are in a situation where they are trying to fight for whatever home they have," said Charmel Gaulden with Gulf Coast Fair Housing. Activists representing more than 30 organizations held a news conference Tuesday morning protesting an ordinance being pushed by the Biloxi's Community Development office. The ordinance would give people 60 days to either find new housing, or move their current FEMA trailer or camper into a RV park.
