BUSINESS AWARDED $6.76 MILLION FEMA CONTRACT FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES | 2016-09-20 | 2016 | 2016-09 | Republican | House | MS | Thad Cochran | C000567 | www.cochran.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C – U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) today announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a $6.76 million contract to a Holmes County business to supply temporary housing for Louisiana flood victims. Lexington Homes, Inc. in Lexington was awarded the fixed-price contract to construct and deliver 155 manufactured homes, which will be used to support flood disaster recovery efforts in Louisiana. Severe storms and flooding there in August led to a federal emergency designation for 22 parishes.“The temporary housing assistance offered by FEMA can help disaster victims rebuild their lives. I am pleased that a Mississippi manufacturer has been awarded a contract to supply this housing,” said Cochran.The $6.76 million contract is funded through FY2016 appropriations provided by Congress. Lexington Homes is one of seven builders to compete successfully for this indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract, which includes four option years.Eligible disaster victims whose pre-disaster residence is inaccessible or uninhabitable can apply through the FEMA Individuals and Households Program for temporary housing assistance. Under this program, FEMA provides one, two or three-bedroom units.Cochran is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and serves on the subcommittee with funding jurisdiction over FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
