GaREIA
Collects Vacant Multi-Family Property Information for Katrina Relief
Not-for-profit Georgia Real Estate Investors Association (GaREIA) is
requesting that housing providers or those who wish to extend housing or
related assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina, especially those with
vacant multi- family units, contact the Association. GaREIA will compile the
information received and forward to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
GaREIA will not perform as a clearinghouse nor will it be
performing any resident placements. The information provided will be sent
directly to the listed governmental agencies so that they, in turn, can
contact property owners directly as the need dictates. Property owners that
wish to submit information do not have to be members of GaREIA. This request
is open to all relevant property owners
HUD
and DHS are looking specifically to the apartment community to identify vacant
multi-family housing units in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Southern
Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia for short-term use to assist
those forced from their homes by to Hurricane
Katrina.
“We pray that all will find a welcome home in the great State
of Georgia,” said Michelle Carey, GaREIA President.
