Matthew, I first want to say thanks. I'm humbled by your efforts. Making donations to relief organizations, while helpful I'm sure, feels like nothing compared to trying to actually find people homes.
I did hear on the local news today that a landlord was prepping some of his properties in town here for NO families. It's in one of the low income housing areas here. I know they have government placement programs for some of those properties and my guess is that there may be relief organization programs now trying to handle some of these placements, but I don't know for sure. It might be worth looking into to see if you can tie into any existing assistance network. Here's a link to a news story that mentions the housing here: http://www.channel3000.com/news/4938916/detail.html Cheers, -Kevin On 9/6/05, Matthew Blatchley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Phase two is going to have an employment relocation section for > communities to donate job positions.
