While thousands flee Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi because of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, many are looking to the Houston area for shelter.
A partnership between KPRC-TV, the Houston Association of REALTORS®, the Houston Bar Association, the Houston Area Urban League, and the Houston Young Lawyers Association has been designed to make housing information available to the victims of one of the worst storms in U.S. history.
KPRC-TV is creating phone banks in an ongoing effort to place Hurricane Katrina refugees in housing provided in the Houston area. Homeowners with rooms, single or multi-family properties, condos, beach homes or any other type of shelter are being asked to post the information to the HAR.com Web site at www.HAR.COM/REALTORSHELP.
Information can be accessed by care providers or victims of the Hurricane on the site and by calling, 713-271-1905.
On the site victims can apply for shelter, residents can donate shelter, victims can find short term lease properties and people interested in volunteering can learn how to do so.
There are many efforts underway. This one addresses the basic need for shelter in the short term. Please help if you can.
