The ruling orders the immediate restoration of housing aid to Hurricane Katrina and Rita survivors. In fact, the court decision had established that FEMA improperly nullified aid to 11,000 hurricane evacuees. On Tuesday, FEMA appealed the ruling on retroactive short-term housing assistance but remains under court order to reinstate aid. To this day the agency has done nothing to comply with the court order. In response, a motion was filed by ACORN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attorneys asking Judge Richard J. Leon to require FEMA to submit a compliance plan on the restoration of aid.
