HARVEY, Ill. (AP) - A Chicago suburb is offering 10 free houses to people in Texas who have lost their homes to Harvey.
Harvey, Illinois, spokesman Sean Howard tells WMAQ-TV that volunteer tradesmen and carpenters are going to the homes this weekend to prepare them for new residents.
The television station reports that the city acquired the homes due to unpaid taxes. Instead of selling the properties to investors, the city is making them available to storm victims. Renovations could take about six weeks.
Harvey -- the storm -- made landfall Aug. 25 along Texas' Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane. Flooding has left thousands of Houston-area families homeless.
check this out San Antonio and Chicago..... a suburb if Chicago (happens to be HARVEY, IL) is giving 10 free homes to Texans caught by the nasty Harvey!
Being that I am from Chicago,.... Harvey is not a rich affluent town. For this extreme generosity is an extraordinary gift from those folks.
