BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
At the Lowndes County Civic Center, dozens of South Georgians are meeting face-to-face with housing experts, property managers, and local nonprofits.
It's part of FEMA's two-day Housing Resource Fair running today and tomorrow from 9 to 5.
The event comes at a critical time. More than 2,000 people across the region are still displaced after Hurricane Helene, and long-term housing remains in short supply.
FEMA says nearly 288 families have been placed so far—but that's just a fraction of those still in need.
The fair will be back here Saturday from 9-5. In Valdosta, I'm Malia Thomas, reporting for ABC27.
