Modular homes in the Lower Ninth

"For the first time in almost two years, a new house is rising on Tennessee Street, the stricken heart of the Lower 9th Ward neighborhood smashed flat by Hurricane Katrina.

Smelling of new paint and fresh caulk, the pioneer home is the first permanent structure anywhere along a six-block street of naked slabs and untended weeds.

But within three weeks, the gray, three-bedroom, 1,700-square-foot modular home being erected on Darryl and Elvina Sims' lot will be ready for a family willing to breath life into ground zero."
