Tyrone Evans, Director, Bonita Street House of Hope, Houston - 9 October, 2005
Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Bonita House had phased out all of its Bonita street units and was preparing to sell the facility due to financial constraints. After Katrina struck, Bonita House immediately opened the units to hurricane victims. As families move out of Bonita House, new families continually move in; since it began taking in hurricane victims, Bonita House has housed about 80 residents at a time. Bonita House is also matching families on its property with sponsors across the country that are willing to help hurricane victims with living expenses for six months.
