The shelter that was housing several Hurricane Harvey evacuees in town has shut down.
The American Red Cross moved out of the Ben Garza Gym this weekend. The shelter served up to150 evacuees in the past few weeks.
American Red Cross Executive Director Debra Luera-Murphy says several of the evacuees from Aransas Pass and Rockport either returned home or have been provided with temporary housing from FEMA. Luera-Murphy said about a dozen of the evacuees were from Corpus Christi and homeless before the storm.
They have been taken to the Good Samaritan Rescue Mission on South Alameda where they're receiving help from the Homeless Coalition.
