Will FEMA-funded Post-Katrina Homes be Universally Designed? Visitable?

National Public Radio reports that Stewart Park Homes has been contracted by FEMA to produce 1,000 manufactured homes as rapidly as possible for those left without shelter by Katrina.

Will those homes incorporate Universal Design? Will they be sited so as to be Visitable?

Universally designed manufactered homes are both "readily achievable" and demonstrably beneficial as we read here from the Minnesota Manufactured Hoimes Association on August 12.
