Fayetteville Group Helping Pay Katrina Evacuees' Rent

To help, dozens of storm victims just found out there's assistance in Fayetteville.

One victim, Nicole Green, lost her dream house when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.

"I hate to say it, but we had it all," Green said.

Green since moved to Fayetteville, which is closer to her sister. She also found a new house, but it's not quite the same as the one she had.

That was easy, but paying rent was not.

"It's bad," Green said. "It's a bad situation."

Now, she's getting help. A nonprofit group, Kingdom Community Development Corp., has $138,000 to give Fayetteville families -- enough to cover rent for 43 families for six months.

Families have to apply for help paying rent. They must be registered with FEMA and the Red Cross to be eligible.
