MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency's temporary housing program in the Minot area following historic Souris River flooding has come to a close after two years and three months.

FEMA brought in more than 2,000 manufactured homes to address a housing shortage following the June 2011 flood that swamped 4,100 homes and other structures in Minot and Ward County.

FEMA says that in the past month, the final few remaining households have been securing permanent housing.

Some homeowners bought the temporary homes from FEMA, and some of them are still living in the homes while they continue fixing their permanent homes. A city committee voted Wednesday to allow two dozen of them to keep the FEMA trailers in city limits another eight months.
