The Galveston Housing Authority (GHA) was able to secure subsidized private-market housing for the displaced public housing residents, as well as thousands of other renters who had never lived in public housing. Yet, the demand for housing assistance continued to outstrip the supply, in part because of the pervasive storm damage. Even prior to the storm, Galveston had a waiting list of about 3,000 households in need of subsidized rental housing. Nonetheless, when the GHA announced plans last year to rebuild the 569 units destroyed by Ike (390 on the same footprints of the original housing and 179 scatter-site) it encountered public opposition.
