A former Auchan superstore is a Houston Red Cross shelter for returning evacuees who were bussed to other Texas cities before Hurricane Ike hit. Many of these residents can't return to their homes because their homes were severely damaged or destroyed in the storm.
Before Ike made landfall, evacuees from coastal areas were bussed to state Shelter Hubs in cities such as Austin and Dallas. This shelter is being used exclusively for residents moving out of the George R. Brown Convention Center Shelter and for these Houston area coastal residents being brought back here by bus. The shelter is located at 6059 South Loop East, Houston, TX 77087. Residents needing shelter, who evacuated on their own, are strongly encouraged to choose from other Red Cross shelters located throughout the greater Houston area. The Red Cross is identifying additional shelter locations because more evacuees will be bussed back into Houston in the next few days. For current Shelter List information go to www.houstonredcross.org and 1-800 RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). |
