Larry Lauff struggles to pack the possessions he and his wife have accumulated in two and a half years of living in their FEMA trailer in Hammond. The stress brings tears to his eyes, makes his hands shake.

"Yeah, I'm shaking,” Larry said. “I shake like this all the time. I get nervous, and I cry, I get upset."

The call he received from FEMA left the couple chilled with fear.

“FEMA called up and it was one of the upper managers, said we had four days to get out."

So Larry worried he and his wife could become homeless because while FEMA would transfer him to a government paid hotel room, when that runs out he knows he can't afford to pay rent and other expenses on the small disability check he receives.

"I can't keep nothing down; it keeps coming back up because when I get nervous I can't eat, and if I get overheated I can't eat,” Larry said.  “I've had four heart attacks, been brought back to life already, and its stressful, very stressful."

But this is not your typical tiny FEMA trailer; it is a full sized mobile home, 66-feet long with three bedrooms. He called the Action Line because Larry couldn't believe that one department of FEMA would want him kicked out when he is working with another branch of FEMA to buy the trailer because it is for sale at a price he could afford.

"I'm trying to buy it, to purchase it, to live here. This is a home, it’s not a mobile home, it’s a home."

Action Reporter Bill Capo contacted officials at FEMA, and asked them to take another look at this situation to see if there wasn't someway to keep the Lauffs living in this trailer until the deal to buy it is complete. Well, they did just that, and Tuesday morning gave Larry Lauff the good news. It was such a relief that his emotions took over again.

“(Whew) I can't express how much of a relief this is,” Larry said, with a smile and happy tears in his eyes.

Now he must wait for the results of a formaldehyde test done three weeks ago, as FEMA and the state are working on trailer sales policies. But Larry found documents showing the trailer was first used in Florida after Hurricane Charley in 2004, so he is confident formaldehyde is not an issue, and hopeful this will become his real home.

"I love it here, I love it here, I finally got my wife out into the country," he said, laughing.
