The telephone at New Orleans ACORN has been ringing off the hook.
Stephen Bradberry, head organizer of the nonprofit community service agency, said his office has received about 1,000 requests for the free house-gutting service offered by ACORN since he went on the radio in late August to talk about the program. The thousand requests are on top of the 1,000 or so homes that were already on the organization's waiting list for gutting -- a full year's work, Bradberry said -- with applications still being accepted."
