GreenMobile ranks number one in FEMA AHPP Grant Award

$5.9 Million Award (FEMA Alternative Housing Pilot Program)

Posted: April 28, 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, F.L. Crane Endowed Professor 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.
