Anyone know of appropriate websites to advertise residential housing to evacuees looking to relocate? Specifically Texas placements?

I think Craigslist had something like that going.

Yeah I checked into them very early on. CL is more informal - "I have a garage apartment - call me, god bless"
I have a property I want to sell at a reasonable price and I'd prefer it go to a family that needs it, not this gouging crap that is becoming the norm nor to some speculative bunch that can rationalize screwing someone as "helping".

Let me guess? A bridge. I kid, I kid.
Where's this property?

Thanks schild but while I wish I could afford to offer temporary free housing I really need to just sell this. I've been a landlord before and I don't want to get back into that - sadly too many people are animals that take advantage and I'm not close enough to the asset to guarantee quality. (selling the old homestead in a neighborhood of good people, not a flipped investment)

You're selling a 3,032 SqFT house for $235k? In an established, though possibly decimated city? Yeouch. I understand a bit of philanthropism is at work here, but isn't there a lot more money to be made from a house that might not get damaged in Rita?

Hurricanes, the gulf coast... part of life. Houston is not just the most important energy in the US, it's one of the most important in the world. Since energy will continue to be one of the more critical sectors for the foreseeable future a person could do a lot worse then settle there. If they're in an energy/engineering related field anyway.
Me, I'm never moving back. But then I love my current property so much I hope to live here until they shovel dirt on my casket.
Anyway appreciate the concern. Looks like we came out ok though. This time.
