Disaster Relief Housing for Workers and Victims

Rent-a-RV is sending its prayers to the victims of Hurricane Katrin, and has started disaster relief efforts by providing temporary trailers until victims can establish a permanent residence. To provide one temporary trailer costs around $13,000 to $16,000, and will house a family of 6 to 8 people. This program is directly funded by donations from public and private organizations.

Rent-a-RV will be working directly with insurance companies, contractors, and emergency crews to provide different types of shelters and command stations to help in the reconstruction of New Orleans and surrounding Hurricane related areas. Any organizations needing assistance should contact our customer service at 918-282-2319. Direct delivery of any travel trailer is available upon request.

Donations can be as simple as a trailer or moterhome that you dont use anymore or cash donation to purchase disaster relief units. Temporary housing has been estimated at six months or more. Rent-a-RV plans to enlist directly with FEMA to play a more direct role in the help to provide temporary housing on an ongoing basis.
