As of May 2006:

$6,473,315,402 spent on trailers

• 121,000 on pads ready to occupy
• 113,000 occupied
•  23,000 purchased but not yet deployed

$ 44,953 per trailer

10,000 trailers of the wrong sort at Arkansas airport were sinking into the mud:  solution spend $4,000,000 on gravel.

FEMA by law can't spend its money on permanent fixes, only temporary.

Of the $100 billion allocated only $15 billion has been spent so far on hurricane recovery so far. Of this amount FEMA took 25% for its own operations. Lets see $3.75 billion for FEMA, $6.5 billion for trailers leaves 4.75 billion.
