State accepts IU’s offer to house flood victims

IU’s offer to house Hoosier families affected by recent flooding has been accepted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, said Kirk White, IU director of community relations.\nAfter realizing the flood’s growing effect on Indiana residents, Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations Mike Sample asked White to see if IU could accommodate flood victims. Residential Programs and Services told White 30 housing units are available for flood victims until the end of July. As of yesterday, the plan was still being considered, White said. \n“We’re now working with that agency to make those units available for displaced Hoosiers,” he said.
