The 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 hurricane caused significant destruction, leading to many individuals losing their homes. Following the disaster, FEMA initiated a program to provide temporary shelter through campers, but this federal aid expired in January 2023. Consequently, the state has been covering costs exceeding two million dollars per month since then, and as of April 30, 2024, there are still 552 residents relying on the state-sponsored Ida Shelters program.

The resolution emphasizes that 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 the campers, a sustainable, long-term solution is necessary and must come from the federal government. The Louisiana Legislature is urging Congress to take action to resolve the housing crisis for those affected by Hurricane Ida, and a copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
