FEMA representative Kenneth Swain explains to Hurricane Katrina evacuees Friday what FEMA is trying to do for them at its new office at 111 Liberty Ave. in Lafayette.

Lafayette's first FEMA office opened Friday, but the center had no money or vouchers to give to hundreds of Hurricane Katrina evacuees who came searching for help.

'We're not giving anything,' manager Kenneth Swain told the crowd. 'We don't have anything yet to give.'
