Lakewood Church, televangelist Joel Osteen's massive Houston arena complex, finally made clear on Tuesday that it will provide shelter for Harvey victims after uproar on social media.
The church previously claimed the building was unsafe for relief efforts due to flooding inside. But social media sleuths who visited the grounds on Monday questioned that assessment and posted photos showing a relatively dry exterior and surrounding area.
"Lakewood is receiving people who need shelter," the church tweeted from its official account multiple times on Monday morning.
Lakewood is receiving people who need shelter. We are also coordinating with the city as a collection site for distribution.
