HotPads Teams With HUD For Emergency Disaster Relief

HotPads is proud to announce our partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development in providing a helpful resource for victims of natural disasters.

HUD's National Housing Locator System (NHL) will function as a tool for displaced citizens to find both temporary and permanent rental houses. We have agreed to provide our listings to HUD's NHL so that, in the event of an emergency, evacuees and victims of natural disasters will quickly and easily be able to find a safe place to call home.

The impetus for this project was Hurricane Katrina and the service will first be used to help the victims of the recent Hurricanes, especially Hurricane Ike. However, the National Housing Locator service will be used to assist victims of all natural emergencies, both those declared by the President, as well as local disasters.

We sincerely hope that victims of disasters will be able to find housing more easily with this new service and are proud to help our fellow citizens in their time of need.
