The Senate Concurrent Resolution, introduced by Senator Fesi and Representatives Chassion and Knox, calls on the United States Congress to address the ongoing housing crisis faced by Louisiana residents who were displaced due to Hurricane Ida, which struck on August 29, 2021. The resolution highlights the significant destruction caused by the hurricane, leading to many individuals losing their homes and relying on temporary shelter solutions provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). However, the federal aid program expired in January 2023, leaving the state to cover over two million dollars per month in costs for temporary housing, which ended on April 30, 2024, with many residents still in need of assistance.

The resolution emphasizes the need for a long-term solution from the federal government to adequately address the housing needs of those affected by the disaster. While the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) has taken steps to delay evictions and explore options for residents to acquire their temporary housing, the resolution asserts that these measures are only temporary fixes. It calls for Congress to take action to ensure that displaced residents receive the necessary support and resources for sustainable housing solutions. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
