In November, Oprah announced the building of homes for families who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.

Oprah returned to Houston over the weekend to tape two shows focusing on the home giveaways and the problems Katrina survivors are still dealing with.

"What if every single thing I owned I possessed, acquired, was given was suddenly destroyed?" Oprah said. "How would I feel? The sense of depression of emptiness the sense of where do I even begin to start over and those kinds of feelings are what brought me to the idea of creating a whole new neighborhood for people."

The homes will be completely furnished.
There will be food in the pantry and family portraits hanging on the walls. The homes aren't free — the program just makes it easier for people to qualify.

Oprah's taped shows in Houston air on Channel 11 on Tuesday and Wednesday at 4 p.m.
