I’ve been talking to a friend of mine about this whole hurricane Katrina evacuee relocation issue. I just haven’t felt comfortable with the “opening up your home” solutions I keep hearing about. While I agree it is a very generous thing to do, I’m not sure it is the best thing to do for the evacuees. After all, they are displaced and putting them up in someone’s home doesn’t make them less displaced.

I’ve felt that if it were possible to get them to an apartment or rent a home, there would be a chance they could have a normal life. I also knew that I would be willing to partner with others to do this. I felt that if at least ten churches came together, they could probably find some type of creative solution.

Well, I found out that my friend got up early this morning and put skin and flesh to our conversation. After talking with him again and reading the plan, I really feel this plan can be used in other areas. The costs will be different because of the cost of living, but, the basic plan would be the same.

Hopefully, the domain will be active in the next day or so and you can visit the “real” website at http://www.KatrinaRelocationPlan.com. If not, I have it up at http://davidmullens.worldfreeweb.com/KRP/. If you want to read how the implementation plan is going, you can go to http://kokomokatrinarelocation.blogspot.com/.
