It's Called Renaissance Village. But don't let the name fool you. It's the largest FEMA trailer park in the country. It's located about a hundred miles north of New Orleans in Baker, Louisiana.  RIght after Hurricane Katrina and Rita, thousands were sent to live there.  PPH trainees in the Gulf Coast produced stories that were aired by the nationally syndicated program Making Contact.
