This link, purposefully not embedded, http://www.hud.gov/news/katrina05response.cfm
will be posted in the categorized link section.
It appears that the HUD property offer is quite broad in scope. REALTORS within 500 miles of the affected area need to read the information on this link, locate HUD properties, then contact those who have victims in need and/or search the various databases for need.
Thanks HUD!
Earlier Blogmaster Commentary continued ...we need fewer databases, and more organization/communication regarding existing resources. It appears that the technology is ahead of the process and people.. A few "Think Tank Thoughts" for the current situation:
-
Maximize the value of www.hurricanehousing.net, www.hurricanehousing.org and other housing databases by having a point person within each board who can post and de-post to the various databases, and who is also aware of local databases.
-
Follow Kathie Moore's lead (see earlier post). Do the same thing for housing as the organizations she refers to do for missing persons. That is, develop a group of volunteers across the country to search the multiple listings :) on the varied databases.
-
If a volunteer is available in each area, great! Otherwise, REALTORS and other volunteers across this country stand ready to embrace the power of the internet toward this endeavor.
