Displaced Texans who have lost their homes or been evacuated due to wildfires have been offered new housing as part of a quickly-assembled initiative from the Texas Housing Foundation and state Rep. Ken King.

The plan has already housed several families, the foundation said in a statement early today, as reported by the Canadian newspaper.

“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the fires in the Texas Panhandle,” said Allison Milliorn, the foundation’s chief operation officer.

“Joint effort is an example of the strength and resilience of the community, King said. “Together, we will come out of this tragedy stronger.”
