Thanks Kevin...I know there are also a few University's around that are offering in-state tuition for those that are interested in going back to school. And when I went to the local School (pittstate.edu) here they said they were getting the older married Student Housing ready to possibly accommodate families that have lost there homes (25 apartments). There is a lot of help out there, but I still think it's hard to find all the different organizations and places where these things are available...thanks for the link...I'll look into this further.
