"Hurricane Katrina has taken a devastating toll on thousands of people who've been suddenly displaced from their homes and everyday lives," said
Apartment Matching CEO James Crocco. "Many of those victims have been
relocated to Texas and could be staying for months or even years. Many
apartment communities have stepped up to offer their help and we're glad to
make it easier for them to reach more of those people in need."

38 apartment communities in Texas have begun offering special rates for
Katrina victims and have provided links to Apartment Matching's website.
Although Dallas and Houston make up most of the participating communities,
there are also units offered in Austin and Conroe, with more cities expected
to be added in the coming weeks.
