New Orleans Evacuees Slowly Assimilate Into Houston Area

HOUSTON - SEPTEMBER 7: Volunteers line up in the Reliant Center as they receive directions on preparing forms some evacuees must complete to receive a $2,000 debit card from the federal government September 7, 2005 in Houston, Texas. The application procedure is expected to take a couple of days. The cards will allow some victims of Hurricane Katrina to purchase food, transportation and other items, once the debit cards are made available. (Photo by Dave Einsel/Getty Images)
