Hurricane Katrina evacuees will receive counseling and one- on-one assistance with long- term job opportunities, housing and child care from Red Cross caseworkers this weekend at the newly opened Family Assistance Center.
The Regional Transportation District is providing free shuttle service between Lowry and the center at 10450 E. First Ave. in Aurora.
Internet access will be provided for evacuees to link to Red Cross Family Links, register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and connect to e-mail.
The center will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Shuttles will begin Saturday at 8 a.m. and run every two hours until 4 p.m.
The center is a combined effort of several state agencies, including the Department of Human Services, the Department of Motor Vehicles, Housing Authority, Child Care, Food Assistance, Public Assistance, Veterans Affairs, Social Security, Workforce Development and FEMA.
