The AP revealed that the federal government typically spends up to $150,000 apiece on the trailers it leases to disaster victims, then auctions them at cut-rate prices after 18 months of use or the first sign of minor damage. Officials have continued the practice amid a temporary housing shortage in Texas, where almost 8,000 applicants were still awaiting federal support after Hurricane Harvey. (Kim Porter via AP)
