Posted: August 09, 2007


(December 2006) FEMA announces award and selection of Mississippi’s GreenMobile™ project for the Alternative Housing Pilot Program (AHPP). Mississippi’s GreenMobile™ project submittal was designed and trademarked by Professor Michael Berk, a faculty member at Mississippi State University School of Architecture. A national jury consisting of members from FEMA, AIA, DOE, and HUD selected and ranked the GreenMobile project number one of 29 submittals. In all, five projects were funded for a total of $388 million. The GreenMobile project was funded for $5.9 million.

This pilot program aims to expand the types of housing FEMA provides disaster-affected communities by identifying, developing and evaluating alternatives to FEMA travel trailers and mobile homes. This program will also provide housing to people with on-going housing needs due to the 2005 hurricanes in the Gulf Coast.
