These homes, part of the 2005-2010 “Canadaville” community for those displaced by Hurricane Katrina, were donated to the Avoyelles Port Commission in 2011. Many of them could be used to provide low-cost or no-cost housing for homeless veterans under a proposal presented to the Port Commission. {Photo by Sean Bordelon}
