Hurricane Katrina Evacuee Housing Clearinghouse:

Please note that the matching of evacuee families with hosts is not
an easy process for those involved and requires a level of trust and
patience on the behalf of all parties. When the time comes we will
put host and evacuee in touch with each other so and they may talk
and together determine whether or not it is a match. Also, please
keep in mind that not every potential host will be matched with an
evacuee family for any one of a variety of reasons including
distance, space requirements, etc., and the eventual lack of need
for additional hosts.
