Craigslist.org Helped Hurricane Victims
On the New Orleans page of craig s list, people from Arizona are offering temporary housing for people who lost their home in the Gulf states.
Many of the postings are not asking for rent money. They just want to make sure the families are from the disaster zone, and legitimately need a place to stay for a while.
A sample of the postings:
